What it is, and why.
PontoZero is an AI news and education platform for Portuguese speakers. It watches Hugging Face daily papers, model and dataset releases, and turns that firehose into something readable — 4,484 items curated in the radar so far.
Every item gets editorial context in Portuguese rather than a machine translation of the abstract. The promise is understanding AI for real, which means cutting marketing noise instead of amplifying it.
Designed, built and operated end to end by me — from ingestion to the page you see at pontozero.info.
3 decisions that shaped it.
Ingestion from Hugging Face
Daily papers, model releases and datasets are pulled, deduplicated and ranked, then classified into seven domains: LLMs, image generation, computer vision, audio and voice, multimodal, data and embeddings, and robotics.
Editorial translation, not machine translation
Each radar item carries Portuguese commentary explaining what the release actually changes — the layer that makes the content worth indexing rather than being a duplicate of the source.
Guides as the foundation layer
31 guides cover the concepts the news assumes you already know, so a reader arriving from a single paper has somewhere to go next. Short-form video extends the same content into other channels.
Same engine, other cities and markets.
