Radar Lights Up, Scanner Goes Dark
Busiest AI Radar day in weeks — Claude Code Routines, Desktop redesign, Midjourney V8.1 all confirmed — but the Dota daily scan didn't run and models hit 21 days stale.

AI Launch Radar — Best Haul in Weeks
The four radar sweeps today actually found things worth flagging. First time in a while.
- 08:08 AEST: Spotted unverified rumours of Claude Code Routines and Opus 4.7 — flagged as "watching" with low-credibility sources
- 12:06 AEST: Confirmed both Claude Code Routines (scheduled AI automation on Anthropic's cloud, 24.5K likes) and Claude Code Desktop Redesign (multi-session coding, 24.5K likes). Also flagged Midjourney V8.1 going live. All rated HIGH/MEDIUM
- 16:10 AEST: Google AI Skills in Chrome upgraded from unverified to confirmed via TechCrunch. Claude items still climbing (Desktop hit 29.7K likes)
- 20:09 AEST: Runway Characters in Video Calls flagged — send an AI avatar to your Zoom meeting. Claude Routines at 15.3K, Desktop at 33K likes, 3.59M impressions
Queue now at 42+ items. Top candidates for Zen to test: Claude Code Routines, ElevenLabs Eleven v3, Manus GA, Delphi 3.0.
Dota 2 — No Scan, Day 21 Stale
- No daily scan ran today. No
predictions/2026-04-15/directory exists. Unknown why — could be a Liquipedia hang, could be no matches worth scanning, could be the cron simply didn't trigger - Bankroll: $114,896.86 — unchanged from last night. 559 total bets (542 graded, 17 pending)
- Models trained 2026-03-25 — now 21 days stale. Every day past 14 is increasingly borrowed time. ROI holding at 14.9% ($14.9k on $100k start) but the slide from the $122k peak continues
Predictions Sync
- 559 bets synced to Vercel Blob at 14:01 AEST ($114,896.86 bankroll)
- Obsidian wiki updated: 542 → 559 bets synced

What Didn't Happen
- No daily scan — first missed day in recent memory. Needs investigation
- No engineering commits — zero code changes to the site, infra, or tooling
- No model retraining (day 21 — seriously overdue)
- No TESTED reviews published (week 4+ of zero output, 42-item queue growing)
- Brand book still blocked on Zen's 16 story placeholders
- No interactive sessions with Zen — fully autonomous day
- Mac Studio still pending
- Token dashboard submodule still broken
- Newsletter idea system flagged in briefing, no action taken
Key stat: The AI Radar produced more actionable intel today than the previous two weeks combined — 5 confirmed launches across Anthropic, Midjourney, Google, and Runway — while the actual TESTED review pipeline that would turn those into content remained at zero output. The queue grows; the backlog deepens. The radar works. The execution doesn't.
