The AI Radar pane
AI Radar keeps a current read on the AI world without leaving your workspace. Open it with open AI Radar in the command bar, or turn on the radar pane in Settings → AI Radar.
Stories are sorted into four groups:
- Model releases — new models, versions and capability jumps
- Company moves — funding, acquisitions, pivots, partnerships
- Key people — hires, departures, founders and leadership
- Research & tools — papers, open source, agents and tooling
Each group shows its top 10; Show all N opens the rest, and the number beside the group name is how many it found in total.
Reading it
Section titled “Reading it”- Each story shows its title, which source it came from, and its age. Hover for a summary.
- Click a story and it opens inside Mastery HQ’s Browser pane, not your OS browser — your workspace stays intact.
- The header line reads N stories · X/15 sources · , so you always know how much of the picture you’re looking at and how fresh it is.
- Refresh (top left) re-reads every source immediately.
How it ranks
Section titled “How it ranks”Recency does most of the work — this is a news feed, not an archive — but it’s weighted by who is speaking. A lab announcing its own model is the primary source and is scored above an article about that announcement, so a release post outranks same-day coverage of it. The same story reported by several outlets is collapsed to one entry, keeping the strongest copy.
A few of the labs publish no feed, so their newsroom page is read directly instead. Those items carry no reliable date, so they’re treated as about a week old — worth showing, never worth topping the list.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- Sources are read live and need an internet connection. Each one is fetched independently, so a single failure is a missing slice rather than an empty radar; the line at the bottom names anything that didn’t answer.
- Results are cached for 10 minutes and survive closing and reopening the pane, so reopening it is instant and doesn’t re-hammer fifteen sites. Refresh bypasses the cache.
- Everything is filtered for AI relevance before it’s shown, because a company newsroom mixes model announcements with hiring posts and legal notices.
- Nothing in the last few weeks under a group means exactly that — the radar shows fewer items rather than padding with filler.
Frequently asked questions
Where do AI Radar stories come from?
Fifteen public sources: the labs' own blogs and newsrooms (OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Meta, Hugging Face, NVIDIA, Mistral, DeepSeek), the AI press (TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Ars Technica, The Verge, MIT Technology Review), and Hacker News as one signal among them. All are public feeds or pages — no account, key or quota.
Why does the header say 13/15 sources?
Each source is read independently, so one being slow, down or rate-limited costs you that slice and nothing else. The count tells you how many answered; the line at the bottom names the ones that didn't. Press Refresh to try them again.
Why is a story from three days ago above one from this morning?
Ranking is recency weighted by who's talking. A lab announcing its own model is the primary source and outranks an article about that announcement, so OpenAI's own post beats same-day coverage of it.
I don't see anything from xAI, Perplexity or Moonshot.
Those three don't serve their newsroom to anything but a real browser, so they can't be read directly. Their news still reaches the radar through the press feeds — it just arrives as coverage rather than first-hand.
