# Above the Fog > The AI hype radar: every day it reads 34 sources (from Hacker News and arXiv to GitHub, Google Trends and podcasts) and scores 96 AI topics from 0 to 100, each with one stage: rising, hot, cooling or quiet. As of Sep 27, 2026 (UTC), 7 topics are in hype. Every page of https://abovethefog.app/ has a markdown twin at the same address plus `.md`; the links below point to the twins. Dates are UTC days. “First seen on” names the first monitored source that went above normal for a topic recently, not where the conversation started. Headlines and links belong to their publishers. ## Today - [What’s trending in AI — Sep 27, 2026](https://abovethefog.app/index.md): the daily brief — in hype now, cooling, biggest moves, themes - [About and methodology](https://abovethefog.app/about.md): how the hype score and the four stages work, the sources, privacy, how to cite ## Topics in hype now -
