A reviewed weekly read on the frontier.
Current State separates vendor facts from Nova3 AI's interpretation. Each edition is reviewed by a person before it is published, with event dates and first-party sources.
Each edition covers what shipped that week from the major model and agent vendors, dated and sourced from the vendor's own announcement rather than secondhand coverage, followed by what the change means for a business running AI operations day to day: what got faster, what got cheaper, and what is now safe to rely on that was not last week. For background on the underlying concepts, see AI Guides, which explains agents, intelligence layers, MCP, and answer engine optimization without the vendor noise. To read these editions inside ChatGPT or Claude instead, add the Nova3 AI connector.
How an edition gets made: we check the vendors' own pricing, model, and changelog pages, keep only changes we can date and link to a first-party source, and drop anything that rests on rumor or a preview nobody can access. A person edits the draft, records what was verified and what was left out, and signs the edition before it goes up. Nothing publishes automatically. If a claim later turns out to be wrong, we correct the edition in place and say what changed rather than quietly editing the text.
Limited access now, a migration deadline in November
Nine documented changes from OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI, checked against the vendors' own pages on September 7, 2026. Most are gated, dated, or both.
