Smart Chunks is an independent AI news and analysis publication covering frontier AI models, benchmark results, and the companies shaping where the industry is going. The site is founded and edited by Sanket Chaukiyal, a technology editor with 12+ years of editorial experience who now also builds production AI systems.
What you’ll find here: daily news coverage on model launches, policy developments, and industry moves; deeper analysis pieces that decode benchmark results and strategic shifts; practical guides for building with AI tools. The coverage prioritizes what actually ships in production over demo reels and marketing claims.
Editorial Standards
Every article traces back to primary sources: company blog posts, research papers, official announcements, and technology reporting from outlets including TechCrunch, Ars Technica, MIT Technology Review, The Register, IEEE Spectrum and The Decoder. Technical releases are checked against arXiv, Hugging Face and GitHub directly. Claims are verified against source material before publishing. Numbers, quotes, and dates are checked against their original sources rather than repeated from aggregator sites.
Every article links to the source it was written from, at the bottom of the piece.
Analysis pieces represent the editor’s own views, informed by 12+ years of editorial work and hands-on experience building AI systems. Opinions are clearly framed as analysis, not reported as fact.
AI Usage Disclosure
Smart Chunks uses AI tools in its editorial workflow. Research gathering and first-draft preparation are AI-assisted; editorial review, fact verification, and final publication are handled with direct editorial oversight. The goal is the same as any modern newsroom’s: move faster on breaking news while maintaining the accuracy and editorial judgment that makes coverage worth reading.

About the editor
Sanket Chaukiyal
Founder and editor, Smart Chunks
I’m a technology editor with 12+ years in editorial. I spent over six years at Autocar India (Haymarket SAC Publishing) as Sub Editor and Senior Copy Editor, working on India’s leading automobile magazine and its web portal. Earlier I was at Spenta Multimedia, where I led editorial teams producing custom-content magazines for clients including Tata Consultancy Services, HDFC Bank, and the National Sports Club of India. I most recently served as Account Director (Content) at Rite Knowledge Labs.
My professional career actually started in technology — as a technical writer at Cognizant Technology Solutions, documenting networking systems, after several years as a freelance C#/.NET software developer and contributor to Digit Magazine.
I hold a Master’s in Media and Communication from the Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication and a Bachelor’s in Computer Applications from Pune University.
Smart Chunks is where those two halves meet. I cover frontier AI releases, and I built the editorial system that publishes them.
