Signal Dispatch Hub

Ground-truth intelligence on China’s AI models, local compute economics, and digital reality.

Verified on bare-metal hardware — not synthesized, not summarized, not filtered. Every dispatch ships with the GPU it ran on, the numbers it produced, and the config that reproduces it.

01 · AI Trial · NEW

Our own models, live on this site. Try them yourself — key-gated, rate-limited, and conversations are not stored.

The fleet
  • Bonsai 27B — chat, zero-fabrication profile live
  • Qwen 3.8 27B — chat, deep mode live
  • Gemma-4 12B Coder — code, battle-tested production
  • Qwythos 9B — long-context gateway fallback production
  • H3 — video pipeline production
  • FLUX — image generation production

Try it — request a key → live models serve the trial; the rest power our production lines

02 · The framework

Five publication lines, one measurement ledger, and a machine-readable layer that serves the same data to agents and humans. Every article is reachable from the series hub.

China AI Watch

Translated discourse, source-linked

42entries

Reported takes from Chinese AI discourse — translated, cross-checked, AI assistance disclosed. Commentary with provenance; never measurements.

China Decoder

How China runs: ten rooms

17pieces

Work, governance, justice, markets, daily life — each room explained through the mechanism underneath the headlines, aggregated from our Chinese-language coverage with both sides reported. Machine index at /decoder.json.

10 rooms · mechanisms, not events

Papers

arXiv, batch-digested

902papers

New papers summarized from their abstracts and paired with how our Chinese-language column reads them. arXiv IDs machine-readable at /papers.json.

Expat Playbook

Operating between two systems

5field notes

Identity, scrutiny, rights, and paperwork for people living across the US–China divide — what circulating narratives get wrong, checked against primary sources.

Industrial AI

Factory-floor field guides

20guides

Open-source AI on the road to the factory floor — anomaly detection from normal samples, edge toolchains, synthetic data. Real artifacts, honest boundaries, the rubric: what → why → how → what went wrong.

Measured data

The numbers, itemized

256ledger rows

Every published measurement with its conditions and provenance. First-party only; machine mirror at /data.json.

The pipeline

Measured → written → syndicated

  1. 01 MEASURED — 256 ledger rows pinned to hardware, conditions and dates
  2. 02 WRITTEN — 55 dispatches, each with a replication appendix + raw markdown
  3. 03 SYNDICATED — JSON indexes, RSS and MCP serve it all to humans and agents alike
