Big Model Radar

English | 中文

A GitHub Actions workflow that runs every morning at 08:00 CST. It tracks GitHub activity from AI CLI tools, OpenClaw and its peer projects in the AI agent ecosystem, scrapes official news and research from Anthropic and OpenAI, and monitors the GitHub AI daily hot list — then publishes bilingual (Chinese + English) daily digests as GitHub Issues and committed Markdown files. Weekly and monthly rollup reports are also generated automatically.

Architecture roadmap

The ongoing V2 architecture plan / status board lives in docs/architecture-v2.md. This is the canonical place for what has been decided, what has been done, and what is still pending.

Web UI

https://borq168.github.io/big_model_radar

Browse all historical digests in a clean, dark-themed interface — no login required. Reports are rendered from the Markdown files in this repo via GitHub Pages.

RSS Feed

https://borq168.github.io/big_model_radar/feed.xml

Subscribe in any RSS reader (Feedly, Reeder, NewsBlur, etc.) to receive new digests automatically. The feed includes the latest 30 reports across all report types, updated daily alongside manifest.json.

MCP Server

https://big-model-radar-mcp.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev

A hosted Model Context Protocol server that exposes Big Model Radar data as tools. Any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, etc.) can query the latest AI ecosystem reports directly.

Available tools:

Tool	Description
`list_reports`	List available dates and report types (last N days)
`get_latest`	Fetch the most recent report of a given type
`get_report`	Fetch a specific report by date and type
`search`	Keyword search across recent reports

Claude Desktop setup — add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "big-model-radar": {
      "url": "https://big-model-radar-mcp.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. You can then ask Claude things like:

"What's the latest in AI CLI tools?" → calls get_latest
"Search for Claude Code mentions this week" → calls search
"Show me the GitHub AI hot-list report for 2026-03-05" → calls get_report

OpenClaw setup — run the following command:

openclaw mcp add --transport http big-model-radar https://big-model-radar-mcp.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev

Or add it manually to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "big-model-radar": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://big-model-radar-mcp.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev"
    }
  }
}

You can then ask OpenClaw things like:

"What's the latest in AI CLI tools?" → calls get_latest
"Search for Claude Code mentions this week" → calls search
"Show me the GitHub AI hot-list report for 2026-03-05" → calls get_report

Self-hosting — deploy your own instance from the mcp/ directory:

cd mcp
pnpm install
wrangler deploy

Tracked sources

AI CLI tools (GitHub)

Tool	Repository
Claude Code	anthropics/claude-code
OpenAI Codex	openai/codex
Gemini CLI	google-gemini/gemini-cli
GitHub Copilot CLI	github/copilot-cli
Kimi Code CLI	MoonshotAI/kimi-cli
OpenCode	anomalyco/opencode
Qwen Code	QwenLM/qwen-code

Claude Code Skills (GitHub)

Source	Repository
Claude Code Skills	anthropics/skills

PRs and issues are fetched without a date filter and sorted by popularity (comment count), so the report always reflects the most actively discussed skills — not just the newest.

OpenClaw + AI agent ecosystem (GitHub)

OpenClaw is tracked as the primary reference project. The current default config compares it with three peer projects in the personal AI assistant / autonomous agent space.

Project	Repository
OpenClaw	openclaw/openclaw
NanoBot	HKUDS/nanobot
Zeroclaw	zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw
PicoClaw	sipeed/picoclaw

GitHub AI Hot List

Two data sources are fetched in parallel every day:

Source	Details
github.com/trending	Today's trending repos — parsed from HTML; includes today's new star count
GitHub Search API	Repos active in the last 7 days matching 6 AI topics: `llm`, `ai-agent`, `rag`, `vector-database`, `large-language-model`, `machine-learning`

The LLM filters out non-AI repos from the trending list, classifies the rest by dimension (AI infrastructure / agents / applications / models / RAG), and records daily hot-list observations without forcing long-term trend conclusions from one day of data.

Hacker News

Top AI stories from the last 24 hours, fetched via the Algolia HN Search API. Six queries run in parallel (AI, LLM, Claude, OpenAI, Anthropic, machine learning), results are deduplicated and ranked by points. The top 30 stories are passed to the LLM for analysis.

Official web content (feed-based)

Organization	Site	Discovery
Anthropic	anthropic.com	RSS mirror of Anthropic newsroom content
OpenAI	openai.com	Official RSS feed: `https://openai.com/news/rss.xml`
Cloudflare Blog	blog.cloudflare.com	RSS feed

New articles are detected by comparing feed identifiers, URLs, and publish timestamps against a persisted state file (digests/web-state.json). On the first run, up to 25 recent articles per site are fetched and a comprehensive overview report is generated. On subsequent runs, only new or updated feed entries trigger a report; if nothing changed, the web report step is skipped entirely. Anthropic does not currently publish an official RSS/Atom feed, so the default configuration uses a community RSS mirror that links back to original anthropic.com URLs.

Features

Fetches issues, pull requests, and releases updated in the last 24 hours across all tracked repos
Tracks trending Claude Code Skills — sorted by community engagement, not recency
Generates a per-tool summary for each CLI repository and a cross-tool comparative analysis
Generates a deep OpenClaw project report plus a cross-ecosystem comparison against the configured peer projects
Tracks official-site content through feed-style sources; detects new articles incrementally
Monitors GitHub Trending daily + searches 6 AI topic tags; classifies repos by dimension and records hot-list observations
Fetches top-30 AI stories from Hacker News (last 24h, ranked by points); generates community sentiment report
Generates ai-daily.md as the reader-facing entrypoint across all detailed daily reports, and uses it as the preferred source for weekly/monthly rollups
Publishes GitHub Issues for each report type; commits Markdown files to digests/YYYY-MM-DD/
Runs on a daily schedule via GitHub Actions; supports manual triggering
All tracked repositories are configurable via config.yml — no code changes needed
The runtime configuration is defined in config.yml using the tracks[] schema

Setup

1. Fork this repository

2. Customize `config.yml`

Edit config.yml in the repo root to add, remove, or replace tracked repositories and content sources. This file is the single runtime configuration entrypoint and must define a tracks[] array.

Legacy keys such as cli_repos, skills_repo, openclaw, and openclaw_peers are no longer supported.

Current tracks[] support boundary:

github_group tracks for CLI / skills / agents are supported by the loader
skills tracks can now aggregate multiple repositories into one skills ecosystem summary
content_group tracks now execute through the runtime with config-driven source discovery and extraction
supported content discovery kinds: sitemap, sitemap-index, sitemap-index-template, rss, atom
supported extraction modes: full-page, metadata-only, feed-first, feed-only

# Add a new CLI tool under the ai-cli track
tracks:
  - id: ai-cli
    kind: github_group
    members:
      - id: my-tool
        repo: owner/my-ai-cli
        name: My AI Tool

# Add a new peer project under the ai-agents track
  - id: ai-agents
    kind: github_group
    members:
      - id: my-agent
        repo: owner/my-agent
        name: My Agent

3. Add Secrets and Variables

Go to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions and add:

Secret	Required	Description
`OPENAI_API_KEY`	required	API key for any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
`OPENAI_BASE_URL`	optional	API endpoint override. Leave unset for OpenAI, or set a compatible provider URL such as `https://api.openai.com/v1`
`OPENAI_MODEL`	optional	Model name passed to `chat/completions`, e.g. `gpt-4.1-mini`
`REPORT_LANGS`	optional	Report languages, e.g. `zh` or `zh,en` (default: `zh`)
`PAGES_URL`	recommended	Public site base URL, e.g. `https://your-user.github.io/big_model_radar`. Prefer a repository variable for this
`TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN`	optional	Telegram bot token from @BotFather. If set, a message is sent after each digest run
`TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID`	optional	Telegram chat/channel/group ID to send notifications to. Required if you enable Telegram notifications

GITHUB_TOKEN is provided automatically by GitHub Actions. Backward compatibility: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, and ANTHROPIC_MODEL are still accepted as aliases, but new setups should use OPENAI_*.

Setting up Telegram notifications (optional):

Message @BotFather on Telegram, create a bot, and copy the token
Add the bot to your channel/group, or start a DM with it
Get the chat ID via @userinfobot or the getUpdates API
Add TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID as repository secrets
Add PAGES_URL as a repository variable under Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Variables

If neither secret is set, the notification step is silently skipped. If PAGES_URL is unset, the site URL is derived from owner/repo as https://owner.github.io/repo.

3. Enable the workflow

Confirm the workflow is enabled in the Actions tab.

To test immediately, go to Actions → Daily Big Model Radar → Run workflow.

First run note: The web content step will fetch up to 50 articles (25 per site) and may take a few extra minutes. Subsequent runs are fast — only new articles are processed.

Running locally

Local scripts automatically load .env via dotenv, so if you've already filled in the repo-root .env, you can usually run the commands directly without re-exporting every variable in your shell.

OpenAI-compatible endpoint example:

pnpm install

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxxxx
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.openai.com/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxx
export OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4.1-mini
export REPORT_LANGS=zh
export DIGEST_REPO=your-username/big_model_radar  # optional; omit to only write files

pnpm start

Or simply:

pnpm start

when your .env file is already configured.

Output format

Files are written to digests/YYYY-MM-DD/:

File	Content	GitHub Issue label
`ai-daily.md`	AI ecosystem daily brief — entrypoint across all detailed reports for the day	`daily`
`ai-cli.md`	CLI digest — cross-tool comparison + per-tool details	`digest`
`ai-skills.md`	Skills ecosystem digest — cross-repository skills highlights	`skills`
`ai-agents.md`	OpenClaw deep report + cross-ecosystem comparison + configured peer details	`openclaw`
`ai-web.md`	Official web content report (only written when new content exists)	`web`
`ai-trending.md`	GitHub AI trending digest — repos classified by dimension + hot-list observations (only written when data is available)	`trending`
`ai-hn.md`	Hacker News AI community digest — top stories + sentiment analysis (only written when fetch succeeds)	`hn`

A shared state file digests/web-state.json tracks which web URLs have been seen; it is committed alongside the daily digests.

Each report is generated in both Chinese (ai-cli.md) and English (ai-cli-en.md). The Web UI sidebar shows ZH / EN toggle buttons for reports that have both variants.
