How KBlip Works

Cluster-based deduplication for AI/LLM news, research, and releases

TL;DR — KBlip watches 100+ sources (news sites, blogs, Reddit, Hacker News, arXiv, GitHub, YouTube, X), embeds every incoming item, and clusters near-duplicate coverage of the same story into a single thread. You read one summary per story instead of ten near-identical headlines. As of now, KBlip has processed 151,111 raw items into 59,238 deduplicated threads — live counts, not a one-time snapshot.

Which sources does KBlip monitor?

RSS feeds from major labs and outlets, Reddit communities, Hacker News, arXiv (new papers across the AI/ML categories), GitHub releases for widely-used AI tools, select YouTube channels, and X posts from official lab and tool accounts. New sources are added as the ecosystem grows; every source is visible on the thread it contributed to, never hidden behind an aggregate score.

How does cluster-based deduplication work?

Every incoming article, paper, or release is converted into a vector embedding (Voyage AI) capturing what it's actually about, not just its keywords. New items are compared against recent threads by cosine similarity; anything above the similarity threshold joins the existing thread as another source instead of spawning a duplicate. A verification pass (DeepSeek) then confirms the match is a genuine same-story duplicate — not just topically adjacent — before merging, and writes a fresh summary in KBlip's own words rather than republishing any single source.

How is content verified before publishing?

Thread titles and summaries are LLM-generated from the clustered sources, but every thread keeps a full, visible source trail — you can always click through to the original articles, papers, or repos. Summaries can contain errors, same as any automated system; the source trail is what makes that checkable rather than something you have to take on faith.

Who builds this?

KBlip is built and run by a small independent team, not a venture-funded product with an ads or data-resale business model. It carries no ads, no accounts requirement, and no paywall.
