In the news: summaries written by AI using only what the cited sources published, reviewed before going live. The numbers in the “The data” strip come from our data, traffic from the last 7 days, never from the summary. Catalog snapshot of Oct 14, 2026, compared with the previous ones since Oct 7, 2026. Traffic through Oct 13, 2026. Price is a 75% input and 25% output blend, and only becomes news when the new value holds for two snapshots. Order follows a fixed relevance formula that weighs the type of change and the model’s share.
