# Ahead of the newsroom — forck.live

> Coverage several outlets are carrying that no AI lab's own newsroom has announced — and the announcements that later caught up with it.

These are not announcements. Each entry is a cluster of press coverage about a company this tracker follows, with no first-party post from that company under it. Nothing here is sourced to a lab, nothing here leads forck.live, and no entry appears in the feed, the archive or the announcement record. Where a heading was composed by this tracker rather than written by a publisher, it is marked.

An entry is listed once at least two outlets we track put the same company in
their own headline and no post from that company's newsroom anchors it. When
an announcement later does, the entry stays and gains an `Announced by the
company` line — the record of what was ahead of the newsroom is only honest
if it keeps the times the newsroom caught up.
