Know the minute a new AI model drops.
Checkers sweep every provider API every 60 seconds. The moment a new frontier model answers, every channel you've switched on fires — email + Chrome push, free. Upgrade and add SMS, an automated phone call — and a watch on the products you already pay for: model pickers, usage limits, prices, quiet nerfs.
One sweep every minute. Then everything fires.
No dashboards to babysit. Pick the models, pick the channels, and go back to work — the board does the watching.
Checkers sweep the APIs
Every 60 seconds we poll each provider directly and wait for a genuinely new frontier model to return a real answer — debounced, no false alarms.
Every channel you enabled
The moment it's confirmed live, your channels fire at once — email and Chrome push free, SMS and an automated phone call the second you upgrade.
Then the intel rolls in
A day-0 scorecard on the new model — and on Pro, your own prompt pack runs against it. Then we keep watching: pickers, prices, limits, drift.
Everything on the wire.
The radar shows what lands next. This is the whole book — announced, leaked, rumored, or simply inevitable. Every one of them is swept every 60 seconds, and every one fires your alerts the second it answers.

The honest answers.
How fast is "the minute it drops"?
Our checkers sweep provider APIs every 60 seconds. The instant a new frontier model returns a real answer, every channel you've enabled fires. Free channels arrive in a batch; Founding goes ahead of it, Pro fires within five minutes, and Max within 60 seconds of detection.
Which models do you watch?
The radar shows the 10 landing next — ChatGPT-5.6, Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.5 Pro, Grok 4.5, DeepSeek V5, Mistral Large 4, Qwen 4.0 Max, GLM-6, Kimi K3 and MiniMax M4 — and the full watchlist tracks 40, including the restricted Mythos 5, Grok 5, GPT-6, Fable 6, Gemini 4 and more. Click any model for its own page: the leaks, the news, the official word, and the live Polymarket odds on when it drops. Tune alerts to SOTA-only, every major-lab LLM, or specific models, plus extra streams for AI tools, local models, and Chinese models.
What is the subscription watch?
Pro watches the products you already pay for — the model pickers on claude.ai, ChatGPT and Gemini, usage limits, and prices. When a model is quietly added, or pulled the way Fable just was from Claude subscriptions, you hear immediately. The “is it nerfed?” drift tracker covers the quieter case: same picker, worse answers.
How do you avoid false alarms?
An alert only fires when a model returns a real answer from the provider’s own API — not a rumor, a leak, or a docs page. Detections are debounced and confirmed on a second sweep before any channel fires.
What's the difference between Pro and Max?
Pro is the intelligence layer: five-minute alerts plus the watchers — subscription surfaces, drift, prices, limits — and your own prompt-pack evals. Max is the full arsenal: 60-second alerts, your own keys probed for staggered rollouts, custom watch entries on anything, Slack/Discord/webhooks, latency monitors, team seats and a concierge SLA.
What does “founding rate” mean?
Founding is $9/month, forever — the price you join at is the price you keep, even after the public rate rises. It’s the thank-you for backing the radar early, and it comes with the day-0 scorecard, The Wire Pro and the weekly brief built in.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Every paid plan is monthly with no lock-in — cancel in one click and keep access through the period you’ve paid for. One caveat worth knowing: cancel Founding and the $9 rate is gone — rejoining later means whatever the price is then.
Do you have a desktop or mobile app?
On the way. The plan: a macOS menubar radar with a full-screen drop banner, then iPhone and Android apps with widgets, then Windows and Linux trays. Email and Chrome push work everywhere today — see the roadmap.
