the dimsum

AI engineering intelligence from labs across China, India, the US, and Japan — model architectures, inference infrastructure, open weights, and licensing, read from primary sources, not press releases. Twice weekly.

Technical signals worth understanding.

the dimsum is a twice-weekly publication tracking AI engineering intelligence from labs across China, India, the US, and Japan — model architectures, inference infrastructure, open weights, and the evidence behind the announcements.

We read the sources, not the press release. Every material claim is traced to a primary artifact, vendor-reported figures are labelled as such, and corrections ship in public, dated. Nothing is published without human editorial review.
