Questions about AI leaks
What counts as an AI leak
A leak is an early report or product clue that appears before an official announcement. It may involve an interface, screenshot or code reference. The evidence can be incomplete.
Are these reports confirmed
Reports are unconfirmed unless an entry says otherwise. Each summary explains the available evidence and what remains uncertain.
Where can I find the original source
Cards with a verified source link open the original report when selected. Image previews and source credits have their own links. Some historical entries may have no surviving source link.
Why do reports change
New evidence can clarify or contradict an earlier report. Features can also change during testing or never become publicly available.
Does this page cover every leak
Coverage is incomplete. ByteForward selects reports for editorial summaries and cannot capture every clue or independently verify every claim.
How do personal browser reactions work
Reactions need no account and are saved when you choose an icon. The numbers show submitted reactions, and the highlighted icon shows your choice. These totals are not verified unique people. Select the highlighted reaction again to remove it. A random key lets you change choices during the current page visit. Without a previously saved key, reloading or closing the page loses access to those choices, although they remain counted. If you previously chose to remember reactions, the existing cookie can still retrieve your choices until its original expiry or removal through your browser. The current feature does not create reaction cookies or extend their expiry.
