Sixteen stories on SheAI News now carry dates between April and September 2026. We wrote them at the start of October. This note explains why they are dated the way they are, and what else we changed in the archive.
Why the archive had a gap
Between mid March and the end of September 2026 this site published nothing new, while the field it covers kept moving: Anthropic withheld one model from the public and shipped several others, Google, xAI and DeepSeek released new flagships, OpenAI shut down its Sora video app, and a court in Munich ruled that training a music model on hit songs broke copyright. Readers told us, fairly, that the front page looked out of date.
We could have written one long summary. Instead we reported each major event as its own story, with links to the announcements, filings and reporting we used, in English and in Slovenian.
Two dates on every archive story
Each archive story is dated to the day the event happened, at 13:00 Ljubljana time, so the archive reads in order. At the top of each one, a line says when we added it: "Added to our archive on" and the date. The data that search engines read carries the same two dates: the event day as the publication date, and the day we added the story as the date it was last modified. None of these stories goes into our feed for Google News, which is meant for fresh news.
The stories were written with what was known on 30 September 2026. Where something important happened later in the same story, it sits in a short section at the end called "What happened next", with its own dates.

Older stories
Some of our stories from March have aged. Where a fact changed or turned out to be wrong, the story now opens with a dated note: the Claude Opus 4.6 review points to Anthropic's newer models, the Manus story says what happened to Meta's purchase, and the piece on social engineering corrects the date of the 2020 Twitter hack and a figure from Verizon's breach report. One opinion essay from March has been withdrawn.
