Where the activity is

Announcements a week, stacked by beat. Hover for every beat’s count in a week; click a legend entry to isolate its band. The newest week is still filling and renders faded. “Not yet analysed” is the grey band — the share of the window enrichment has not categorised, counted at equal weight.

Open weights

Open-weight posts a week — a release labelled open, or one whose analysis found stated open weights. 30 of 264 model posts in this window, of 680 posts analysed.

Who covers whom

Stories of each company an outlet covered in this window — a story counts once per outlet, however many pieces they filed. An empty cell is none.

The map

The map

Every announcement of the last 26 weeks, positioned by similarity of its title and summary — nearby points say similar things. Position is a 2-D projection; the axes carry no units. Size is outlet coverage (largest = 33 outlets). Scroll or pinch to zoom, drag to pan, click a point to read its story; the legend filters.

Colour is the group a post’s wording falls in — measured from the same vectors the positions come from, so every point has one, where a beat needs the story to have been analysed first. A group is named by the words its own members’ headlines share, and is left unnamed when they share none. An outline is drawn only where these two axes can show a group as an area — tight enough, and not lying across another group’s. The rest are real in the full space; this plane just cannot draw them as regions.
