🔭 WHAT TO WATCH NEXT

  1. Whether discovery-only headlines gain an official announcement, model card, paper, repository, or reproducible benchmark.
  2. Whether performance and price claims hold up under independent measurement rather than launch-day comparisons.
  3. Whether any announced capability becomes available to ordinary developers instead of remaining a controlled demo.

🧪 METHODOLOGY NOTE

This edition is deliberately conservative. It uses the same collected RSS evidence as the normal report, keeps source provenance visible, labels discovery-only coverage as provisional, and does not invent missing technical details. A resilient edition is preferable to a silent gap in the archive.
