What is News Minimalist?

It's the only news aggregator that ranks news by significance.

It uses AI (Gemini) to read and analyze ~30,000 news articles every day and give them a significance score from 0 to 10.

Articles rated 0-3 usually cover sports, entertainment, and small local news. Articles with rating 5+ cover significant world events that shape the world.

To give a global perspective, the news is collected in 12 most spoken languages.

Why?

I wanted to have this for myself — a system that would filter out the everyday noise and only keep the minimal number of news actually worth reading.

It turned out many others want this too.

This is easily the best use of GPT I've yet seen, because you're using it to limit the mountains of sensationalist attention-seeking stuff out there, instead of adding to it.

How to read?

The easiest way is to subscribe to the newsletter below — I send about 2-3 emails per week with the most significant news collected since the last update (usually ~10 major news stories per week). Over 10,000 subscribers get their significant news this way. If you'd like to get it too:

Want more control?

The newsletter shows the same news to everyone.

If you want to customize what you see, there's Premium — choose your categories and countries, set significance thresholds, filter by media coverage, and read the results on the web, email or RSS.

If you need to monitor specific topics, there's Pro — describe what you want in plain English and AI will find articles that match your intent, not just keywords.

      Microsoft plans to launch a single Copilot AI app this year, combining chat, coding, Cowork, and autonomous Autopilots for consumers and businesses, CEO Satya Nadella said during the company's latest earnings call. The app places Microsoft alongside OpenAI's ChatGPT Work and Claude's Cowork in the race to build all-in-one AI platforms. Microsoft has 30 million paid Copilot users out of 450 million business seats, with its subscription base smaller than ChatGPT's. The move reflects a broader industry push to keep users within one app for multiple AI tasks, a strategy that matters for OpenAI and Anthropic as they prepare for upcoming IPOs (gsmarena.com + 3)

      Snapchat Bans AI-Generated Videos From Spotlight Platform Snapchat announced Friday it will ban wholly AI-generated videos from its Spotlight platform, aiming to preserve authentic human creativity as low-quality AI content spreads online. The company stated that AI-enhanced or edited content using Snapchat’s own creative tools remains eligible, acknowledging AI’s role in expression, but the ban targets prompt-driven “slop” as video models like Google’s Nano Banana improve. The move contrasts with Meta, whose CEO Mark Zuckerberg touted AI models enabling a “nearly infinite universe of personalized content,” suggesting Snapchat bets on human-led storytelling over AI saturation (hollywoodreporter.com + 8)

      Drone Strike Hits US Tanker in Egypt's Port, First Attack on the Country A drone strike hit a US-owned gas tanker in Egypt's Damietta port this week, marking the first attack on Egypt and showing Iran's ability to disrupt global shipping and energy supplies if it chooses to escalate. Iran denied involvement, but anonymous Iranian sources told The New York Times the attack aimed to demonstrate Tehran's capacity to disrupt worldwide shipping and energy. Egypt, which hosts no US bases and previously avoided targeting, is a key mediator between Iran and the US, and Damietta is crucial for LNG exports to Europe. The attack follows a pattern of Iran striking targets farther from its borders, with increased rocket fire on Jordan, a major US military hub hosting 4,000 troops. The US has relocated forces from Gulf states to Jordan, where public opinion is divided over American presence in the broader US-Iran conflict (nos.nl + 36)

      African Megaherbivore Decline Linked to Low Speciation, Not High Extinction A new study of 23 million years of African ungulate fossils reveals that lower speciation rates, rather than higher extinction, primarily drove the collapse of megaherbivore diversity. Researchers used neural network models to challenge the prevailing focus on size-biased extinction. Extinction rates were intrinsically lower in large-size lineages, while speciation rates in the largest herbivores declined due to increasing aridification over the last 5 million years. Although extinction rates rose sharply at the Pleistocene onset 2.58 million years ago, the study shows high-crowned dentitions also suppressed extinction rates. These findings highlight the macroevolutionary complexity behind megaherbivore decline, advancing understanding of biotic crises involving large-bodied taxa (nature.com + 2)

      UN warns record-strength El Nino will worsen global weather extremes The United Nations warned Friday that a record-strength El Nino will intensify global weather extremes, including extreme heat, drought, and rainfall, through spring 2027. The Pacific Ocean indicator for El Nino has reached its warmest level ever recorded for this early stage, and scientists say it may break all-time intensity records when it peaks late this fall. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said recent heat domes and wildfires are only a warm-up act as the climate crisis accelerates. The WMO warned of drought and wildfires in Asia, Australia, South America, and Africa, while the US and Southern Europe face above-average rain (apnews.com + 14)
