The project aims to present the complex history of open weights in an engaging format that wouldn't fit on a personal blog.", "body_md": "Over the weekend I was discussing the latest news relating to open weights with some of my non-techie friends. After 30 mins of waffling, I realised it is quite a long and interesting story, with many twists and turns.\n\nI've always wanted to create a 'long scroll' story, but have never found a suitable story to tell. This felt like a fun weekend project to undertake.\n\nThe story itself doesn't have too many scroll effects (which is probably a good thing), it was more about trying to tell a story with a certain style that wouldn't really fit on my personal blog.\n\nWould love to get your feedback on the content and / or presentation.\n\nAI Usage Notice: I used AI to help research the content, but the story itself was written entirely by me. Whereas the long scroll website was created entirely by Claude Code.\n\nAs an aside, I had Claude create a simple markdown-based rendering process (inspired by remark.js) to ensure a deterministic rendering that didn't alter any of my words.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49082976](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49082976)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-the-rise-of-open-weights-a-long-scroll-story", "canonical_source": "https://blog.scottlogic.com/ceberhardt/rise-of-open-weights/", "published_at": "2026-07-28 12:45:24+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-28 12:52:17.086386+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Claude Code"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-the-rise-of-open-weights-a-long-scroll-story", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-the-rise-of-open-weights-a-long-scroll-story.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-the-rise-of-open-weights-a-long-scroll-story.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-the-rise-of-open-weights-a-long-scroll-story.jsonld"}}
