Papers
Frontier AI papers move from arXiv preprint to broad citation in days, not months. PulseAugur's papers feed tracks the research that's actually being read across labs and developer communities — ranked by source corroboration and citation velocity, not raw upvotes. We ingest arXiv, Semantic Scholar, the major AI conference proceedings (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR), and we cluster across vendor blog posts about a paper, social commentary, and replication threads from independent groups. New papers appear within minutes of arXiv announcement; cluster scores update hourly as citations and replication signals arrive.
