How to keep up with AI news in 2026 (without doomscrolling)
AI moves faster than any one human can track. The trick is a single daily brief, two RSS feeds, and a hard stop. Here’s the system.

The 5-minute daily brief
Read one curated daily summary that covers everything important from the previous 24 hours. DreyX’s daily AI Intelligence Brief is free, ad-free, and published at 06:00 UTC every day. It always includes the #1 story, an editorial bullet list, and concrete actions for practitioners.
Two RSS feeds, no Twitter
- DreyX latest news RSS — real-time AI-only feed, rebuilt every two hours, taste-filtered.
- One first-party source — pick the lab whose work matters most to you (OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind, Mistral) and subscribe to their official blog RSS directly.
That’s it. Two feeds is enough.
The stop-loss rule
Set a 30-minute timer. When it goes off, close the tab. AI news has no end; your day does. The daily brief exists so you don’t need to keep scrolling.
When something genuinely big happens
Real news (model releases, regulatory action, lab announcements) hits DreyX within an hour of the source publishing. You can subscribe to /digest/rss if you only want the daily and not the firehose.
Frequently asked
- Why not just follow AI Twitter?
- Because AI Twitter is 90% screenshots of demos and 10% actual news. A taste-filtered feed surfaces the 10% without the noise.
- Why not Google Alerts?
- Alerts surface raw articles. They don’t tell you which of 40 articles about the same news event is the primary source. A curated brief deduplicates and ranks.
- Is the DreyX brief biased?
- It’s opinionated by design — see methodology and sources for the full taste profile.
