AI breakthroughs are arriving faster than ever—some weeks it feels like there’s a new landmark paper, model, or product demo every few days. The march toward Singularity-level change is no longer abstract; it’s playing out in real time.

To stay ahead, I built a personal media-analysis engine that:

  1. Searches for up to 300 open-access, Q1-ranked papers using relevant keywords (e.g., “AI,” “LLM,” etc.).
  2. Analyses each paper and generates an individual summary.
  3. Identifies breakthroughs, similarities, and differences across all papers.
  4. Produce a final report that includes:

Overall, after reading this report, it became clearer which way the wind is blowing. Here is an output from recent 298 papers:

Technology Utilization Across Papers
