# Research briefs
|
||
|
||
Daily curated digests of interesting progress in AI **models**, **methods**,
|
||
**harness**, and **tooling**, filtered through axes A–D.
|
||
|
||
## Layout
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
briefs/
|
||
├── README.md # this file
|
||
├── _template.md # copy for each new day
|
||
└── YYYY/
|
||
└── MM/
|
||
└── YYYY-MM-DD.md # one brief per calendar day (UTC or lab local — state in front matter)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Example path: `briefs/2026/07/2026-07-23.md`
|
||
|
||
## Cadence
|
||
|
||
| Mode | When |
|
||
| ---- | ---- |
|
||
| **Daily** | Preferred operating rhythm when the lab is active |
|
||
| **Skip empty days** | If there is no meaningful signal, either omit the file or write a short “no material delta” brief |
|
||
| **Weekly rollup** | Optional later; not required for foundation |
|
||
|
||
First operating mode is **manual** (human or agent drafts from the template). Automation is out of scope until the template is validated by at least one real brief.
|
||
|
||
## How to write a brief
|
||
|
||
1. Copy `briefs/_template.md` to `briefs/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md`.
|
||
2. Fill only sections with signal; leave others as `*(none)*` rather than inventing news.
|
||
3. Cite primary sources (papers, model cards, release notes, repos, pricing pages).
|
||
4. Flag **collection candidates** with enough metadata for inventory review.
|
||
5. Keep **lab implications** short and actionable (or omit).
|
||
|
||
## Design principles
|
||
|
||
See `INTENT.md` and `history/InitialExploration.md`:
|
||
|
||
- Signal over noise
|
||
- Actionable for the lab
|
||
- Price and access aware
|
||
- Reproducible sources
|
||
- Just-in-case bias for rare/high-leverage open weights
|
||
|
||
## Baseline vs daily
|
||
|
||
The **baseline field survey** is not a daily brief:
|
||
|
||
- `research/2026-07-24-baseline-field-survey.md`
|
||
|
||
Daily files under this tree are **deltas** from that baseline and prior dailies.
|
||
Playbook: `docs/daily-brief-playbook.md`. Sources: `docs/sources-allowlist.md`.

||
