# forck.live — 26 May – 1 June 2025 > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is one issue of the weekly archive: every confirmed first-party announcement of ISO week 2025-W22, 26 May – 1 June 2025, newest first. The window never moves, so this URL always names the same seven days — but a post published inside them and detected later is added when it arrives, so a closed week can still gain entries. Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. - This week's page: https://forck.live/week/2025-W22 - The current issue, and the catalogue of the other weeks: https://forck.live/briefing.md - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Announcements ### Vercel — Introducing the v0 composite model family - Company: Vercel (vercel.com) - Announced: 2025-06-01T13:00:00+00:00 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://vercel.com/blog/v0-composite-model-family - Record: https://forck.live/items/20868-introducing-the-v0-composite-model-family - Subject: v0 / AI SDK / AI Gateway We recently launched our AI models v0 -1.5-md , v0 -1.5-lg , and v0 -1.0-md in v0 .
