About

Next Token records how AI got here, one piece a week. Two kinds of writing live here: records — events checked against a primary source (a paper, an official announcement, a government document), each with exactly one source link — and notes — my own write-ups, without source links, marked in yellow and separable on the timeline.

How events are checked

1. Every Monday I sweep a fixed list of places: paper repositories, lab and company blogs, government records.
2. Each event is matched against its primary source for date, actor and content. Company-reported numbers are labelled as such.
3. Claims that may flip later (a bill awaiting signature) are re-checked on a schedule and corrected.
