The Decoder
An independent news site covering artificial intelligence, published in English and German.
The Decoder is a news website that reports only on AI: new models, company moves, research and the occasional scandal. It is one of the sources we read every day, and we link to it when it has the clearest write-up of a story.
Like any outlet, it summarises other people’s work, so for big claims we also look at the original announcement. Think of it as a well-informed colleague who tells you what happened and where to read more.
