The flood
I spent 14 hours building an RSS aggregator because DeepSeek doesn’t have a feed. That’s 14 hours DeepSeek’s marketing department saved by not publishing one. Meta’s scraping took 6 hours and broke twice when they trashed their HTML structure. RSS is a solved problem. AI companies skip it because engagement metrics matter more than developer time.
Every company, lab, and side project now claims it has the AI feature that matters. That makes real updates harder to find. For me, the feed came down to a handful of sources worth checking: OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, DeepMind, Hugging Face, and a few open-source projects.
Even those groups still publish filler for investors, launch cycles, or attention. It is still better than drinking from the whole news firehose. The annoying part is basic: the top firms do not publish updates in one consistent way.
The problem
I found this when I wanted a simple AI-news RSS feed. I looked for a feed from each top firm. OpenAI, DeepMind, and Hugging Face have one, but Anthropic, Meta AI, and DeepSeek don’t.
Hugging Face was RESTful. DeepMind fought me with rate limits. Meta’s HTML changed daily, like they knew. Anthropic surprised me. They sell heavily to coders and still do not ship an RSS feed. Full credit to Daniel Olshansky and his tool, RSS Feeds, for making it possible to turn the Anthropic news blog into an unofficial feed.
The final boss was DeepSeek. They don’t have an RSS feed, blog, news site, or anything. Nothing to scrape, nothing to collect. My solution, after a long, hard think: fuck it, remove them from the pool. This pained me; I like their models, their tech, and their open-source nature. Yet their news lives in Elon’s tweets, apparently.
The learnings
I spent 14 hours to avoid checking 6 websites. Now I reload one website instead of six.
RSS is solved. DeepSeek’s news lives in Elon’s tweets. OpenAI has a feed. That is the whole story.
If you want to check out the site to keep up to date on AI news, check out Ai-news **or the GitHub repo: GitHub: ai-news.
2025 Update: It’s been updated to be more useful. Now with a search bar and the ability to filter by company.
That is the current state of the project: less tab checking, fewer broken vendor pages, and one place to watch the feed.
