AI research, distilled daily.

TokenTimes is an independent AI research newsletter and publication. We track the frontier — papers, models, policy, and industry — so you don't have to read everything yourself.

Our Mission

AI moves fast. Papers drop daily. Models launch weekly. Policy shifts monthly. Keeping up is a full-time job — and most people already have one.

TokenTimes exists to solve that problem. We read 200+ sources every day, identify the stories that actually matter, and deliver them in a format that respects your time and intelligence. No hype. No clickbait. No breathless proclamations about AGI being six months away.

We write for the people building, investing in, and thinking critically about AI: researchers, engineers, product managers, investors, and policymakers. If you care about what's real — not what's trending — TokenTimes is for you.

What We Cover

Research

Landmark papers, new architectures, training methodology breakthroughs, and the technical work that pushes the frontier forward.

Models

New releases, benchmark comparisons, capability evaluations, and honest assessments of what models can and cannot do.

Industry

Funding rounds, strategic partnerships, talent movements, hardware supply chains, and the business of building AI.

Policy

Regulation, governance frameworks, safety standards, copyright debates, and the political landscape shaping AI's future.

Robotics

Humanoid robots, autonomous systems, embodied AI, dexterous manipulation, and the physical intelligence frontier.

Safety

Alignment research, evaluation methodologies, red-teaming results, and the ongoing work to make AI systems reliable and trustworthy.
