Answer
Ask one question first: does this launch change what you should build, migrate, benchmark, or defer in the next 30-90 days? If not, treat it as context, not action.
Key points
- Evaluate stack, user, and roadmap relevance separately.
- Look for concrete evidence such as API access, migration details, pricing changes, or production constraints.
- Write down an Act / Watch / Ignore decision so hype does not keep resurfacing without context.

Tools / Examples
- A context-window expansion matters if long-document workflows are already on your roadmap.
- A new model tier does not matter if it does not improve your main user task or cost profile.
