How OutYet reports model news
Source hierarchy
Provider documentation, API registries, model cards, and official announcements are primary sources. Independent reporting and direct expert analysis can support a story. Anonymous posts and unattributed screenshots are treated as leads, not facts.
Release verification
A story cannot mark a model released. OutYet confirms availability only after two successful checks of an official machine-readable surface, ten seconds apart. News, rumors, and editorial copy never trigger release alerts.
Rumors and uncertainty
Unverified claims are attributed to their source and labeled as rumor. We state what is known, what remains uncertain, and what evidence would resolve the question.
AI assistance
Automation may collect sources, organize evidence, and draft copy. Published stories carry a disclosure. Automatic publication requires an authoritative primary source or two credible independent sources, a claim-to-evidence map, and no conflict with detector state.
Corrections
Material corrections are noted on the story with an updated timestamp. You can report an error through Feedback or email hello@mapleavenuelabs.com.
Benchmarks
Every score keeps its source, original model label, capture date, and source link. Vendor-reported and self-reported figures are labeled. Independent leaderboards are never filled with a vendor estimate when a model is absent.
