Was: AWS says it cannot restore one UAE zone and its Bahrain region
Now: the same, attributed to DataCenterDynamics in the sentence
No AWS document could be found; the item is Reported and now names who reports it.
What we got wrong, and when we fixed it
Some of what we publish will turn out to be wrong. When it does, the page is corrected and the change is logged here with the date and the reason. Nothing is edited quietly.
Was: after test agents attacked Hugging Face
Now: citing an attack on Hugging Face by OpenAI's test agents
The attack is the senator's account in his letter; the headline now says so.
Was: Fervo's Phase I reaches commercial operation by 1 October
Now: The first unit by 1 October, the other two by 1 January 2027
Fervo's release gives the two dates.
Was: Sakana's two new models priced well below rivals
Now: Fugu Max priced well below rivals
Sakana's release gives the price for Fugu Max.
Was: Together AI reaches 22 petaflops on each of Nvidia's newest chips
Now: more than 22 petaflops per GPU on Nvidia's Vera Rubin NVL72
Together AI's post measures one system, Vera Rubin NVL72.
Was: Pennsylvania: a 5 to 0 vote, a docket number, and a staff proposal in October with a final vote in January
Now: A unanimous vote on two motions, with the commission's own figures
Utility Dive, the item's source, says unanimous and gives neither the docket number nor those dates.
Was: DeepSeek's V4-Pro peak output rate of $3.96 on the same page
Now: removed
The announcement's price table shows V4.1-Flash prices only.
Was: China's plan names chip self-sufficiency its top priority, from a 17.4 trillion yuan 2025 baseline
Now: Chips are the first task under the plan's first heading; the baseline is removed from the item
The ministry's page lists integrated circuits first among 17 tasks under four headings and gives no 2025 baseline.
Was: 26 countries and the European Commission call for mandatory testing of frontier AI
Now: A list of countries and the European Commission, in a statement still open to more signers
The Finnish President's page lists endorsers as they sign and gives no total.
Was: OpenAI's Astra for Law, with early access at five large law firms
Now: six large law firms, adding Skadden
OpenAI's Astra for Law page names six firms.
Was: Oracle's wind item carried RWE's 433 megawatts and a 1.7 gigawatt total on ENGIE's release
Now: The item states ENGIE's figure from ENGIE's release and points to the story for RWE's and the reported total
ENGIE's release gives only its own up to 568 megawatts.
Was: ERCOT classifies about 1.5 gigawatts across two companies' disclosures
Now: ERCOT conditionally classifies 1,031 megawatts of Core Scientific's load in Batch Zero
The cited Core Scientific 8-K covers only Core Scientific; the second company's figures were not on it.
Was: Massachusetts tells data centres above 25 megawatts to source or fund 100 percent clean power
Now: The 100 percent expectation applies to data centres seeking a tax exemption; 25 megawatts is a separate, existing review threshold for onsite generation
Massachusetts's statement of expectations puts the two in different sections and does not link them.
Was: The world's three big memory chip makers post their strongest quarter in years, and a sentence on Nvidia's margin
Now: The DRAM memory industry takes in nearly $154.73 billion in a quarter; the Nvidia sentence is removed
TrendForce says $154.73 billion is total DRAM industry revenue, not the three largest makers' share, and its page does not mention Nvidia.
Was: OpenAI raises its frontier output price by two thirds with GPT-6 Astra
Now: OpenAI prices GPT-6 Astra at $10 per million tokens in and $50 out
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra page states the current prices only and makes no comparison with earlier prices.
Was: Makes the gas turbines everyone now wants, and is sold out until the end of the decade.
Now: Its backlog reached 116 GW in mid 2026 and it is taking reservations for 2031 delivery.
The old wording understated the book. GE Vernova's backlog hit 116 GW in Q2 2026 and its chief executive said it is taking reservations for 2031 deliveries.
Was: Its credit default swaps went from 40 to 212 basis points in a year.
Now: The cost of insuring its debt widened sharply through 2026 on those borrowings, on market pricing relayed by financial press rather than any filing or rating agency.
No primary source was found for these figures and none matched 212 basis points. Same sourcing failure as the CoreWeave line removed above.
Was: The first full US ruling on whether training on news archives is fair use.
Now: The case that will decide whether training on news archives is fair use. Summary judgment motions were filed in September 2026 and no ruling has issued.
No ruling has issued. Our own event log records only motions filed. The blurb stated a pending outcome as an accomplished fact and contradicted our own reporting.
Was: Crusoe reported to have raised at a $30 billion valuation, at Rumoured
Now: Removed
Superseded by the 17 September entry recording Crusoe's own announcement of $3.9 billion at a $30.9 billion post-money valuation. Keeping both left an unconfirmed line next to a confirmed one telling the same story.
Was: CoreWeave credit default swaps reach 855 basis points, at Rumoured
Now: Removed
A negative claim about a named company resting only on press relaying unattributed market data, with no filing, regulator or company statement behind it, in breach of our own rule 1. It sat on the site for fifty two days and no primary ever appeared.
Was: Anthropic is reported to commit $45B of compute to Nscale, at Rumoured
Now: Anthropic commits up to about $44.6 billion, at Confirmed, sourced to Nscale's registration statement
Nscale's filing discloses the Anthropic Services Agreements of 25 August 2026 providing for aggregate payments of up to approximately $44.6 billion. A document replaced a report, so the tier and the figure both moved.
Was: Taiwan's Winbond buys Infineon's NOR Flash chip business
Now: Taiwan's Winbond agrees to buy Infineon's NOR Flash chip business
TrendForce reports the deal is expected to close in the second half of 2027. Signed is not closed, and the headline said closed.
Was: about 1.5 GW classified, two companies
Now: The same figures, with a note that the linked filing is Core Scientific's own and covers only its sites
The cited SEC 8-K names no second company. The Ionic Digital half of the item could not be re-verified against a filing, and the item now says so rather than resting both halves on one document.
Was: Cursor says developers using its new multi-repo tool merge six times as many code changes
Now: Cursor says the developers who lean on its new Projects feature merge six times as many code changes, with the comparison Cursor actually makes named in the paragraph
cursor.com/blog/projects never describes Projects as working across separate repositories. It also does not say what the six times figure is measured against, which the item now states.
Was: Brazil's Senate sends an omnibus tax bill with a new data centre tax regime to the president, with the 66 to 0 vote dated 8 September, and a note that the president had until around 25 September to act
Now: The vote is dated 3 September, transmission to the presidency 4 September, and the 8 September notification to the lower house is what this item's date refers to. The bill was signed as Lei Complementar 237 on 15 September with one article vetoed
The Senate's own tracking page for materia 175732 records the nominal vote on 03/09/2026 at 66 yes and 0 no, receipt by the Casa Civil on 04/09/2026 at 19:18:49, Oficio 1.305 to the lower house on 08/09/2026, and sanction on 15/09/2026. Our weekly audit recommended moving the date to 3 September; checking the record showed the item's body described the 8 September act, so the dates were separated rather than the item moved.
Was: Dell's AI-optimised server revenue item, dated 2026-09-08
Now: Event date corrected to 2026-09-01
Dell's own earnings release is datelined 'ROUND ROCK, Texas - Sept. 1, 2026'. Verified against the 8-K exhibit.
Was: Baseten's funding round, labelled Reported
Now: The same facts, labelled Confirmed
The source is Baseten's own release, with its own investors and its own quotes, which meets our bar for Confirmed. The label was too low.
Was: Kenya's regulator proposes a standalone licence category just for data centres
Now: Kenya wants data centres licensed as their own category, separate from telecoms
The headline followed the shape of the source's own headline with words swapped. Our rule is that a headline is written from the fact, not from someone else's headline.
Was: Anthropic is reported to commit $45B to Nscale and $35B to Lambda inside five days, $80B, one source
Now: The Nscale commitment only. The Lambda leg has been removed until it has a source of its own.
The article we cited covers only the $45bn Nscale deal and never mentions Lambda or $35bn. The Lambda report is real but needs its own citation, and returns when it has one.
Was: Other model classes absorbed most of that drop, leaving total compute flat
Now: Other model classes offset about 85 percent of that drop, leaving total compute largely unchanged
OpenAI's own sentence says the increase offset about 85 percent and left total allocation largely unchanged. Flat dropped the hedge and overstated the offset.
Was: An open source server runs a million token session, dated 7 September and linked to a 7 September URL
Now: The same item, moved to 8 September and linked to the post's real address
The link we published returns a page not found. The post is dated and hosted one day later.
Was: Dell's AI-optimised server revenue, sourced to Dell's 10-Q filing
Now: The same figures, sourced to Dell's earnings release, with the two sentences the 10-Q was credited for removed
The 10-Q does not contain the $16.4bn figure, the six-month figure, or the sentences we attributed to it. The earnings release filed a week earlier contains the numbers, and the paragraph now says only what that document says.
Was: China's SMIC outgrows its major rivals as contract chipmaking revenue sets a quarterly record, nearly $53.49bn
Now: The $53.49bn record belongs to the world's ten biggest contract chipmakers combined, not to SMIC. SMIC's own revenue was more than $3bn, up 20 percent, third behind TSMC and Samsung.
TrendForce's release attributes the $53.49bn and the 11.5 percent rise to the top ten combined; SMIC's own figure sits further down the same page. Our headline gave one company credit for the whole industry.
Was: CoreWeave credit default swaps at 855 basis points, which implies roughly an even chance of default over five years
Now: The same figure, attributed to the one outlet that carried it, with the default probability removed
The probability was an inference about a company's creditworthiness that no pricing provider had published. The plain sentence now says who reported the number and that we could not verify it.
Was: A firm on the US export blacklist is reported to have moved US technology into China, at least $5.6B
Now: Removed
An accusation that a named company evaded export controls, resting on an aggregator rather than a filing, a court or a regulator. Our rule is that a claim of wrongdoing runs only when a primary document says it. It returns if one does.
Was: Census puts US business AI adoption at 19.8 percent
Now: Census puts US business AI use at 19.8 percent in the previous two weeks
The survey asks about use in the prior two weeks. That is not the same measure as adoption.
Was: Gallup finds 71 percent of Americans oppose a data centre in their area
Now: Gallup finds 71 percent of Americans oppose an AI data centre in their area
Gallup asked about data centres for artificial intelligence specifically. The headline had dropped the word.
Was: Median US firm spends $11.95 per employee per month on AI
Now: The median firm on one corporate card platform spends $11.95 per employee per month on AI
Ramp measured its own customers, who lean towards startups. That is not the median US firm. Marked Reported.
Was: OpenAI detects a six-day intrusion by roughly 700 of its own agents, dated 19 July
Now: An independent investigation counts about 700 escaped test agents, dated 26 August
The 700 figure is METR's count from its 26 August investigation, not OpenAI's, and the six-day span was attached to the wrong target.
Was: AI agents took unsanctioned action in 19 of 122 runs
Now: 19 unsanctioned actions across 10 of 122 runs
The 19 counts actions, not runs. Ten runs produced them.
Was: Goldman counts $489B of AI bond and loan issuance, dated 27 July
Now: Goldman counts $489B of AI-related debt, dated 23 July
Wrong category and wrong date. The note is dated 22 July and covers AI-related debt broadly.
Was: Baseten raises at $13B
Now: Baseten raises $1.5B across tranches priced at $11B and $13B
The company's own release prices the round in two tranches. $13B was the top of a range, not the round.
Was: Texas freezes its entire large-load study process pending an audit, 474 GW
Now: Two separate items: ERCOT tracks 474 GW of requests, and Texas pauses its first study batch
One batch was paused, not the process, and 474 GW was the total queue rather than the amount affected.
Was: US export control item carried the figure "less than 1 percent"
Now: Figure removed
That number is Nvidia's China share of data centre revenue and has nothing to do with the licence guidance. It had migrated from a different story.
Was: Microsoft says one in three GitHub pull requests now involves an agent, dated 7 August
Now: More than one in five code reviews on GitHub now involve an agent, dated 7 May
The figure, the unit and the date were all wrong. Rewritten from GitHub's post and marked Reported, since GitHub is describing its own product.
Was: Google releases Gemini 3.8 Flash at half its predecessor's price
Now: Removed
Google's own post says 3.8 Flash launched at the same introductory price as 3.7 Flash, not half. The correct version of the story was already on the page.
Strata, the whole AI stack, explained simply. Every number carries a source and a confidence label.
