Data sources and methods
Shift (？) is a sourced, bilingual AI news site. This page restates the site’s current operating notes and configuration.
- On a fixed Asia/Shanghai schedule, headlines, dates and original links are collected incrementally from the sources below; large official feeds are capped at the latest 10 items, and only AI-related GitHub changes are kept.
- The first run each week also checks Last Week in AI and Hugging Face Papers for missed stories.
- Leads are de-duplicated, then compared as a group on substantive impact on AI direction, productivity and tool choice and on new information; there is no quota by count, brand or score.
- Selected events are reported from primary material: announcements, docs, pricing, model cards, papers or repositories. Vendor claims are attributed; unknown dates are not guessed.
- Chinese and English are written together, with numbered citations to sources; every story ends with links to its original sources.
- Images come only from the original page or official release, are inspected before use and credited in the caption; otherwise the story is text-only.
- Every story goes to an independent reviewer before publication, covering importance, facts, dates, numbers, key conditions, zh/en consistency, citations and images; nothing is published without approval.
