Sources allowlist — daily research
Standing channels for Freedom Intelligence briefs (axes A–D). Prefer primary
sources over aggregators. This is a watchlist, not a scrape mandate.
Axis A — Frontier & commercial
| Channel |
What to extract |
| OpenAI / Anthropic / Google / xAI / DeepSeek blogs & release notes |
Capability claims, deprecations |
| Official pricing pages |
$/MTok in/out, cache, batch |
| Model cards for API models |
Context limits, tool use, policies |
| LMSYS / Arena / artificialanalysis-class charts |
Directional only; note gaming risk |
| SWE-bench Verified / Live leaderboards |
Harness+model pairs, not raw IQ |
Axis B — Edge / local / open
| Channel |
What to extract |
Hugging Face org feeds: Qwen, deepseek-ai, meta-llama, google, mistralai, BAAI, nomic-ai |
New weights, licenses, sizes |
| llama.cpp, vLLM, MLX, Ollama release notes |
Runtime breakthroughs |
| GGUF / official quant announcements |
Only after base model known |
Axis C — Training & specialization
| Channel |
What to extract |
| arXiv cs.LG, cs.CL, cs.AI (recent) |
Methods that fit homelab |
| Unsloth, Hugging Face TRL, Axolotl, LLaMA-Factory |
Practical recipes |
| Preference-optimization papers/releases |
DPO/ORPO/RLVR-class |
Axis D — Harness & fleet
| Channel |
What to extract |
| OpenHands, Aider, SWE-agent, OpenCode, Cline repos/releases |
Harness capability |
| sand-boxer / agent-harness / activity-core (internal) |
Coulomb adjacency |
| MCP / tool-protocol standards |
Interop shifts |
Internal memory
| Artifact |

Collection status |
Do not
- Treat Twitter/X rumor as confirmed without primary link
- Mirror entire HF orgs
- Cite paywalled claims without noting access limit
- Collect weights that fail the license gate (
inventory/collection-policy.md)
- Store API keys or customer data in briefs
Cadence hint
For a 30–60 minute manual brief: scan A pricing+releases (10m), B HF/org
releases (10m), C one methods thread (10m), D harness releases (10m), write
(15m). Skip empty sections.
