> Anawords is an independent AI news site. Every story starts with a published research note, every fact links to its source, every claim is labelled, and every story says exactly how it was checked.

Anawords is an independent AI news site from India, edited by Mayank Sahu. Each story is built from labelled facts that link to their sources.

## How to read our facts

- **Confirmed**: An official source says it: lab docs, pricing page, notice.
- **Reported**: Two or more independent, named outlets say it.
- **Company claim**: Only the company says it. Not checked by anyone else yet.
- **Unconfirmed**: One report only, shown with its source.
- **Not known**: Not announced or not answered yet.

When you cite us, please keep the label: a "Company claim" is not a confirmed fact.
