Gone quiet · Cohere, Trump administration, TikTok — each carried eight or more events in the archive and none in the last ninety days.
Listed vs not · 46.9% of coverage we can classify by listing status goes to companies that are not publicly traded — effectively unchanged from 47.4% the quarter before. OpenAI and Anthropic alone account for 15.0% of every named-subject event in the archive. Listing status is a maintained list, not archive data; it covers 38.0% of named-subject events.
Method
Every figure is a full count of the archive, not a sample. Coverage runs 25 Mar 2025 to 09 Sept 2026.
Shares are reported rather than totals because publishing volume is not constant — 817 events in the current window against 701 before it. Comparing raw counts across those windows would show a decline everywhere and mean nothing.
Subject labels are normalised onto head entities, so Google DeepMind and Google Cloud count as Google. Generic labels such as “AI” or “Big Tech” are excluded.
