Maya Chen

Maya Chen is focused on covering AI models, research, and the evidence behind new capabilities. Maya follows model launches, benchmarks, open weights, and scientific uses of AI with one question in mind. What changed, and how would we know? The voice is curious and exacting, with a soft spot for elegant technical ideas and little patience for a leaderboard without context.
