Tech's AI-industry story overflows into five separate headlines

Google's Gemini cuts, the Pentagon's enforcement, Mistral's new model and Jon Stewart's monologue all land in the same 36 hours; none of it moves tech's own climate reading past the back of the pack.

Layers disagree, the week's most interesting mismatch.

The number is how far this window sits from what this domain normally does, per 100 sources reporting, against the stamped days before it, so a day on which more sources reported does not read as a busier domain. Above zero is busier than usual, below zero quieter. It says the volume moved; it does not say why, and it is not a share of anything.

This is the counted layer: how much the feeds we read published about tech, per source reporting, against what they usually publish. The story above is the heard layer, written from sources. They are kept apart on purpose.
