What ChatGPT coverage is made of over time: story type, claim stage as reported, and press framing. This measures the coverage, not the product.

Story type and claim stage are shares of the 5,555 classified coverage items in this window. Press framing is a share of the 5,409 of those whose framing could be read — vendor and primary-source items carry no framing.

How to read this

The stream below stacks each month's coverage by the lens you choose: Tone (how the press frames the story — promotional, skeptical, critical, or neutral), Story type (launches, funding, lawsuits, partnerships…), or Stage — how far the reported claim has gone: speculation → announcement → launch → results.

Taller bands mean more coverage that month; the dots beneath mark notable non‑neutral events. Every signal is sourced and dated.

Coverage is 57% announcement-stage (by claim stage) and mostly neutral — but promotional framing runs at 6%, much of it on the Launch · OpenAI storyline.
