How this was made

Prose: deterministic synthesis (local model, no cloud calls).

Story selection: the paragraph covers the day’s top-three stories by impact — coverage breadth, average κ across the cluster, and freshness. The stories themselves live in the grid below with a category filter.

Full dossier: visit /brief/ for the archived deep-dive with editorial Lens takes, reporting-stack comparisons, and the daily Roundtable of frontier-model takes on the top stories.

Context check: within each cluster the hero is the most recent article with κ ≥ 0.40. Stories whose hero is > 18h old with ≥3 newer articles are dropped entirely; stories with ≥2 newer articles are marked Evolving.

Corpus window: last 24h, excluding Tier E. Updated every 30 minutes with the pipeline.
