About

A State of AI is an independent publication covering artificial intelligence for the people actually building with it.

Not executives waiting for a briefing. Not researchers writing for other researchers. Builders, founders, and practitioners who are making real decisions with AI tools every day and need coverage that reflects that reality.

We publish across five areas: research and model analysis, tools and hands-on tests, infrastructure and self-hosting, business impact for small teams, and practical tutorials with real commands. Everything we cover comes from direct experience or primary sources. No hype cycles, no aggregated takes, no content written to rank.

AI is moving fast enough that most coverage is already stale by the time it publishes. We write about what is actually working right now, what is not, and why that matters if you are building something real.

We publish when there is something worth saying.
