What you'll find on The Tech Archive

The Tech Archive covers artificial intelligence for people who have to make decisions about it. Every piece starts from something checkable: a model release and what changed in it, a tool and what it costs to run, a research result and what it does and does not show. We write about model releases, AI agents, developer tooling, research, funding, and policy, and we link to the primary source so you can disagree with our reading of it.

What you will not find is a launch rewritten from a press release, a benchmark quoted without its conditions, or a prediction dressed up as a finding. When something is genuinely unclear we say so and explain what evidence would settle it. That is slower than the news cycle and it is the point.

AI tools for marketing

How generative tools change research, drafting, and measurement, and where they quietly produce work that reads fine and says nothing. Read the marketing guides.

AI agents and tooling for developers

Agent frameworks, model APIs, and local inference, tested on real work rather than demos, with the failure modes written down beside the setup instructions. Read the developer guides.
