Vol. 01 An independent analyst portal
The frontier of embodied AI, read carefully.
Foundation models. Voice and speech AI. Avatars and synthetic video. Agentic infrastructure. Edge runtimes. And the trust-and-safety surface around them all — analysed by hand, written to last.
No press-release aggregation. No model-leaderboard hot takes. Long-form analyst writing — read once, cite, move on.
The seven silos.
The portal is organised around seven analytical clusters. Each silo is a deep, continuously updated body of work — not a one-off series.
- 01 Foundation Models Frontier model families and the labs behind them.
- 02 Voice & Speech AI TTS, voice cloning, STT, conversational and call-center AI.
- 03 Avatars & Vision Synthetic video, talking avatars, 3D characters, motion capture.
- 04 Agentic AI Agent frameworks, autonomous coders, RAG and agent infrastructure.
- 05 On-Device & Edge AI Local LLM stack, edge hardware, small open models, on-device privacy.
- 06 Trust & Safety Provenance, deepfake detection, AI governance, safety research.
- 07 Industry Tracker Living trackers — open-source AI weekly, funding monthly.
Living trackers.
Two pieces we republish on a fixed cadence — analyst synthesis, not aggregation.
