The Coury Report

Intelligence at the Intersection of Humans & AI

About

A daily report on artificial intelligence, read by people who make decisions that matter.

One edition each weekday. The signal, ranked. The sources, graded. So you can spend ten minutes on AI news and still know what just happened.

Edited by  Coury · Atlanta · Since March 2025

01 What it is

A daily lens on AI · who it's for
In one line

A consolidated lens on what's actually moving in AI.

More AI news is published every day than ever — across labs, infrastructure, policy, enterprise deployment, and capital. The Coury Report aims to contribute a single, empowering view of the stories that matter most.

More AI news, more adjacent fields, more credible voices than ever before. That's a healthy thing for an industry at an inflection — and a lot to keep up with for anyone whose job depends on being current.

The Coury Report contributes one daily read of that flow: a small, opinionated set of stories that genuinely matter to the people making decisions, building solutions, and helping enterprises gain the benefits of AI. One edition each weekday. The lead story is the lead story. The list of nine is the list of nine.

It's for the executives setting AI strategy, the builders shipping AI products, the vendors navigating the inflection, and the journalists covering the beat — anyone who needs to be current on AI without making it their full-time job.

One read. The stories that matter. So you can act on AI — not chase it.

02 How it works

Source-graded · ranked daily
The method

Every claim carries a provenance grade.

T1, T2, or T3 — printed next to the byline. Borrowed from financial-intelligence work. The point: you can audit our confidence at a glance.

Each morning, roughly 300 candidate items pull in from wires, papers, primary filings, named newsletters, and a curated panel of specialist accounts. Every claim is graded by source tier, and candidates are scored by tier, independent confirmations, topic weight, and recency. The editor reads the top thirty, sets the final order by hand, and writes the deck. Edition ships before 9:00 ET.

Tier 01 · Primary

On the record

Source documents, official filings, transcripts, peer-reviewed papers. Material we can re-read in full and quote directly.

Examples

SEC 8-K filings · Federal Register · arXiv preprints · ICLR / NeurIPS papers · official lab posts · hearings transcripts · BLS micro-data · earnings calls.

Weight: 1.00

Tier 02 · Reported

Independently confirmed

Newsroom reporting from outlets with named editors, fact-checkers, and a corrections record. Used when primary sources aren't yet public.

Examples

Reuters · Bloomberg · The Information · FT · NYT · WSJ · Wired · plus newsletters with track records and named bylines (Stratechery, Platformer, Import AI).

Weight: 0.70

Tier 03 · Discourse

Sentiment & context

Social posts, blogs, podcasts. Useful for the shape of an argument; never used for facts in isolation. Always attributed.

Examples

X / Bluesky threads · personal Substacks · Hacker News · Reddit · LessWrong · YouTube and podcast episodes.

Weight: 0.30

Editor & founder

Coury

Editor · Founder · Writer

Coury is an independent technology analyst and editor based in Atlanta. He founded The Coury Report in March 2025 after a decade of reading every AI primary source he could find and noticing nobody was indexing them in one place. He writes the daily edition, runs the source panel, and answers the email himself.

Before the Report he spent six years on the AI-infrastructure beat at a national technology publication, and two years on the deployment team at a foundation-model lab — the kind of background that produces an editor who knows what a GPU hour costs and reads the safety appendix first.
