Ranked by how many matching posts each person appears on — the names you'd pitch for a guest slot or a briefing, not just the biggest bylines overall. A complete terms aggregation over the index, not a sample; one known content-farm identity is filtered out.

12
of the top 20 front a podcast (a hosting credit) — book one segment, get repeat exposure.

Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab just released their first open-weights model — a Mixture-of-Experts transformer with 975B total parameters, 41B active, Apache-2.0 licensed and trained on 45 trillion tokens of text, images, audio and video.

A proposal that both addresses the hypocrisy of labs outlawing distillation against their models despite training on unlicensed data, and could help US open models compete more effectively with their Chinese counterparts.

Sources — by share of their own coverage

Source Posts Share of their coverage
1 TBPN their beat 359 51%
2 Latent Space their beat 313 58.2%
3 Deep Learning Weekly their beat 231 117.9%
4 Hacker Noon volume 229 5.6%
5 Don't Worry About the Vase (Zvi) their beat 227 40.7%
6 Interconnects (Nathan Lambert) their beat 224 59.1%

8 ThursdAI - The top AI news from the past week their beat 186 88.6%
9 Simon Willison's Newsletter their beat 150 77.3%
10 Towards AI Newsletter their beat 145 71.4%

Share of coverage separates a beat from a mention: a show spending most of its output here (“their beat”) reads very differently from a big publisher where this is a sliver of a firehose (“volume”). Both are ranked by raw matching posts.
