Signal topics
Four desks over frontier-lab evidence: where labs are hiring, what they are forking, what shipped, and what they are talking about.
Where are frontier labs hiring, and what does that imply?
Open roles are demand-side signals: teams being staffed, locations being built out, and technical bets that need people before they become product or research announcements.
What are frontier labs forking, depending on, or inspecting?
Forks expose upstream dependencies and research-adjacent tooling before they show up in polished launch posts. They are a quiet signal for infra, eval, agent, and model-adjacent work.
What are frontier labs shipping right now?
Release pages combine model cards, GitHub release notes, launch posts, and traction. The point is to see what actually shipped, not just what was marketed.
What are frontier labs talking about publicly?
Writing and public discussion surface research themes, product framing, model-launch context, and external traction around the labs.
