Distinct entities linked to at least one story this month, and the stories they were linked from.

How these are counted

Every figure on this page is written by a nightly job from the tables the product runs on. Nobody types a number. A figure appears when its job exists; a definition changes only with a note here.

Countries
Appears once the membership record stores a country for enough members. It does not yet, so the masthead shows three figures, not four.
Not shown
Source counts, on any surface. Stories per day, until it is counted against the system. The names of models or vendors; those live on the AI policy page.
