Reading strategy
When to reach for OpenAI.
What you get
Direct product and research announcements. The framing is first-party — meaning you're getting the lab's intent, not an intermediary's interpretation. The upside: high accuracy on specifics. The downside: marketing density is elevated.
When to read
OpenAI is a Tier-1 daily. Read it whenever a release drops — it will be the most accurate description of what actually changed.
What to discount
The framing is optimistic by design. Cross-check capability claims against Hacker News comments or AI Snake Oil before committing them to your mental model of the field.
