An extensive semi-autonomous evaluation (Feng et al., 2026b) of 700 open problems on Bloom’s Erdős Conjectures database, including autonomous solutions to four open questions listed there. On Erdős-1051, our model autonomously solved and helped lead to a generalization reported in a research paper (BKKKZ26). The agent also contributed intermediate propositions on two further papers, (FYZ26) and (ACGKMP26).

That's a solid dozen stories covering geopolitics, markets, and scientific breakthroughs.

Now I'm checking these against my existing memory to make sure there's no overlap. None of these URLs match what I've already stored, so we're good. I'm also verifying against my skip list—the major stories I'm intentionally avoiding like the Anthropic funding, NASA crew mission, DHS shutdown, and Munich Conference aren't in this batch. For the Munich Security Conference reference that did show up, I'm leaving that out to stay focused on the skip criteria.

Looking at the topic spread, I've got solid coverage across tech, AI policy and releases, and global news without too much clustering in any one area.

I'm reconsidering whether to keep the GitHub Codespaces item since it's from February 5th, but the search results show it as "1 day ago" relative to February 16th, so it's recent enough to include. Let me finalize the structure and make sure I have a clean set of 11-12 items organized by category. I've got a solid mix of stories covering markets, science, and geopolitics—the S&P 500 hitting 7,000, Bitcoin stabilizing amid market fear, breakthroughs in spinal cord regeneration and space imagery. That brings me to 11 items, which fits the target range, so I'm ready to format this up.

Good data gathered. Now composing the briefing with 11 diverse items across all 5 categories.
