I built an interactive map of the AI ecosystem — brands, models, products, hardware, and the people connecting them
This is project i vibe coded for myself to track AI news.
I used claude code with opust 4.6 and opus 4.7 model.
I kept losing track of how everything in AI fits together — which models belong to which lab, who works where, what hardware powers what. So I built a visual knowledge graph of it.
It's an Obsidian-style force graph: each node is a brand, model, product, piece of hardware, research institution, or person. Edges show the relationships (e.g. Google → Gemini, Anthropic → Claude, or Alphabet → Google → DeepMind). Nodes are grouped by type around each company so it's not a total hairball.
The part I like most: hover (or tap on mobile) any node and it shows the latest news headline about that exact entity, with a thumbnail — so it doubles as a way to follow what's happening across the whole space.
It's free, no signup, works on mobile too: https://best-ai.news/map
Still iterating on the layout and would genuinely love feedback — is it readable? What's missing? Any entities/relationships I should add?
