Social feeds amplify mindblowing claims about AI coding. Some are real progress; many are misread demos or marketing. Use a simple evidence ladder before you treat a story as fact.
Primary sources first
Prefer links to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, or arXiv papers over aggregator headlines. If the article does not link to a primary source, treat it as rumor.
Benchmarks
Ask which benchmark, which model version, and whether results are on public leaderboards you can inspect. SWE-bench and similar suites have known caveats; read the methodology PDF.
Demos versus products
A polished video is not a shipping guarantee. Distinguish research previews from APIs you can call today.
Practical takeaway
Sleep on viral posts. Your team’s architecture decisions deserve sources, not hype.
