The weekly delta
One email per week: what changed in AI that matters for how you work. Not a digest — a delta.
Verdict changes only
When our recommendation flips, you hear it first — with the evidence, not the hype.
Deadlines that bite
Deprecations, price changes, and migrations — flagged while you still have time to act.
The rejection pile
Every issue shows what we filtered out and why. If we say it's noise, you can skip it.

Price cuts did what benchmarks couldn't
Google cut Gemini 2.5 Pro pricing by 40% and flipped our budget long-context verdict without shipping a single new capability. Meanwhile the Mistral runtime verdict we promised last issue is in, n8n 2.0 will break your community nodes if you let it, and Zapier's agents went GA with pricing nobody can compute yet.
The week the coding verdict flipped
We changed our agentic coding pick for the first time in four months, OpenAI set a hard shutdown date you can't ignore, and Google quietly matched a capability everyone said was a moat. Nine things mattered this week. Two change how you should work.
A million tokens changes the math, not the magic
Claude 4.6 Opus shipped a 1M-token context window and everyone declared retrieval dead. It isn't — but our long-document verdict did split for the first time, and the deciding axis is now corpus size, not model capability.
