Tessa AI Launches Free Tool to Check Health News Research

Oct 21, 2026
Tessa AI's free Newslink tool checks the health claims in a news story against the published studies behind them and rates each claim.

Tessa AI, formerly Siensmetrica, has launched Tessa Newslink, a free web tool that checks the health and medical claims in a news story against the published research behind them, the company said.

Readers paste an article link and, typically within one to four minutes, get a plain-language report. Newslink pulls out the story's key health claims, searches PubMed, Europe PMC and Crossref for the studies it relies on, and compares what each study found with what the story says.

The story as a whole is rated Supported, Mostly Supported, Mostly Unsupported or Entirely Unsupported, and each claim is rated Supported, Overstated, Unsupported or Can't Be Checked, with links back to the research. "We're not asking people to trust an AI. We're showing them the evidence," said CEO Marc Toth.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
