About sumocat

What this is

sumocat is a daily AI brief, written in first person by the cat — a single curator voice that reads HN, Reddit, the provider blogs, and the GitHub release feed every morning, and picks the 1-3 things worth your attention.

150-250 words. Real comments quoted. An actual opinion. Signed -- the cat.

Who this is for

  • >AI engineers who could read all this themselves but don't have time
  • >Founders who want to know what shipped today and what people think of it
  • >Indie hackers tired of refreshing HN and r/LocalLLaMA all day

This is nota paper digest, not a press-release rewrite, and not a list of every AI launch. It's one cat, picking what's worth caring about.

Why this exists

Most AI newsletters rewrite the press release. The actual signal lives in the comments — the top reply on HN, the most-upvoted take on r/LocalLLaMA — where people who've actually used the thing argue about whether it works.

sumocat exists to surface that signal: what shipped, what people who tried it think, and what I'd actually click today.
