How to keep up with AI in 2025 πββοΈ
I'll state the obvious: AI is moving incredibly FAST π¨
Here are the best sources I follow to keep up with the most important developments in Artificial Intelligence:
π§ The Neuron (daily newsletter)
This is my top recommendation for a general audience. Itβs fun, informative, and well-written. It includes links to the latest AI news and tools, but the real goldmine is their article at the top of each newsletter.
π€ The Batch (weekly newsletter)
It includes four deep, thoughtful analyses of the most important developments in AI this week, plus commentary from legendary AI researcher Andrew Ng.
π Simon Willisonβs blog (also available as a weekly newsletter)
Simon is an independent AI researcher and co-creator of the Django web framework. Heβs constantly experimenting with the latest AI models, and his analyses are excellent. Start by reading this post: Things we learned about LLMs in 2024.
𧩠One Useful Thing (newsletter by Ethan Mollick)
Ethan is a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He provides practical advice on the use of AI, as well as analyses of where AI is going. Heβs also my favorite source of AI insights on Bluesky.
π Ahead of AI (newsletter by Sebastian Raschka)
Sebastian is an AI researcher and the author of Build a Large Language Model from Scratch. His newsletters are best for those who already know a lot about LLMs and want to keep up with the latest research. Start by reading these issues: Noteworthy AI Research Papers of 2024 (Part One) and Part Two.
π‘ Understanding AI (newsletter by Timothy B. Lee)
Timothy is a technology reporter with a background in computer science. I love his insightful writing on AI and self-driving vehicles, though some of his articles are limited to paid subscribers (such as myself). LLMs explained with a minimum of math and jargon is his most well-known article.
πͺ Am I Stronger Yet? (newsletter by Steve Newman)
Steve is a software engineer and startup founder. I discovered this newsletter just recently, but his latest article, Are We on the Bring of AGI?, was fantastic.
