   • Prioritize announcements from leading AI labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, etc.)
   • Include significant open-source releases
   • Skip minor updates or opinion pieces

3. Extract Key Information For each news item, capture:

   • Summary: 2-3 sentences describing the development
   • Impact: Why it matters to AI engineers
   • Link: URL to source (if available)

4. Organize and Save Create a structured JSON file at /workspace/raw_news.json with this format:

{
  "collection_date": "2025-10-28",

      "date": "2025-10-26",
      "category": "Model Release",
      "summary": "Description of the announcement...",
      "impact": "Why this matters for AI engineers...",
      "link": "https://example.com/announcement"
    }
  ],
  "categories_count": {
    "Model Release": 5,
    "Research": 4,
    "Product": 3,
    "Regulation": 2,
    "Other": 1
  }
}

Important Guidelines

• Accuracy: Only include verified information from credible sources
• Recency: Focus on the past 7 days (from today's date)
