Research-rate forecast
Last 7 days: 21.0 bullets/day · Next 14 days: 23.93/day · +13.9%What this is
A continuously-running pipeline reads recent AI-infrastructure research — arXiv abstracts, GitHub repos, HN threads, lobsters, OpenAlex — and extracts concrete "what to build" suggestions from each. Those suggestions are clustered nightly by topic (BERTopic over the embedded text). Each cluster's daily volume is fed through a zero-shot time-series model (TimesFM 2.0) which predicts the next 14 days.
The numbers below are bullets per day — one bullet is one extractable engineering suggestion from one source. Rising clusters indicate where the AI-infrastructure community is converging next; declining ones lose attention. Predictions made 2026-05-15, back-graded each Sunday against actuals.
