Where can I find the latest AI model launches and releases?

New AI model launches are tracked in our Model Drops section at /model-drops, with a focused write-up each time a major lab or open-source project ships a model — what launched, who built it, what is new, and why it matters, with links to the primary sources.

What is the best source for weekly AI news?

Our AI Weekly Update is a concise Monday briefing on the week's most important developments across frontier labs, open-source models, AI research, and production tooling — written to be read in a few minutes. The full archive lives at /weekly-updates.

How often is handyai.news updated?

We publish an AI Weekly Update every Monday and Model Drop posts on demand whenever a significant model is released, so the site typically updates several times a week. The homepage and feeds refresh automatically as new posts go out.

A Model Drop is our short-form post published whenever a notable new AI model ships. Each one summarizes the release — the model, the lab behind it, its capabilities, and why it matters — and links out to the official announcement and documentation.
