An example of what you can build on Sputnik Intelligence data — every number below is a live query against our corpus of newsletters and podcasts, not a hand-made slide.
How the contest between US and Chinese AI — export controls, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, Huawei, SMIC — moves through the newsletters and podcasts we track, and who is driving the conversation.
10,459 posts matched · last 24 months · refreshed hourly
Weekly matches as a share of all posts that week — normalized so the line reflects real momentum, not just corpus growth.
A Chinese lab ships an open reasoning model matching the US frontier — the single biggest week of China-AI coverage in the period.
Washington widens chip export controls; Nvidia's China-only H20 becomes the flashpoint between policy and demand.
Qwen, Kimi and DeepSeek successors keep shipping on open weights; "open vs. closed" reframes as "US vs. China".
Renewed restrictions and Chinese countermeasures push coverage to a new high.
Moonshot's 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 arrives; the frontier open-weights race is now unmistakably geopolitical.
Hand-picked from the real story, not derived from the chart above — the dates are approximate periods, so don't expect them to line up exactly with a specific week's spike.
| Source | Posts | Share of their coverage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TBPN their beat | 240 | 34.9% |
| 2 | Bloomberg Tech | 195 | 17.6% |
| 3 | [YOU] on AI · Now their beat | 154 | 44.1% |
| 4 | Last Week in AI | 147 | 21.5% |
| 5 | ChinaTalk volume | 124 | 6.9% |
| 6 | Latent Space | 123 | 24.6% |
| 7 | The AI Daily Brief: Artificial Intelligence News and Analysis volume | 122 | 4.9% |
| 8 | ThursdAI - The top AI news from the past week their beat | 112 | 58% |
| 9 | Hacker Noon volume | 102 | 3.1% |
| 10 | Interconnects their beat | 95 | 35.8% |
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.
