Cognee crosses 28,500 GitHub stars by Jul 27.
Why it matters: The memory-layer race runs on funding and star velocity, not invoices. Cognee has led the track's weekly star gains since we started counting — this call tests whether the sprint is momentum or a spike.
OpusClip's sitemap passes 7,700 pages by Jul 28.
Why it matters: The captions frontrunner is mid-way through a German localization push (+290 pages in the last tracked week). If the pace holds, it's a real international land-grab; if it stalls, the push was a batch job, not a strategy.
Submagic's entry price is still $12/mo on Aug 11.
Why it matters: The captions track is racing to the bottom on price. Submagic holding its floor while rivals cut would mean it believes the API pivot — not discounting — is the way out.
Submagic publishes a public API/usage pricing tier by Aug 9.
Why it matters: On Jul 10 its homepage flipped to 'Submagic API is live'. A headline without a price is a promise, not a product — 30 days is enough time to show the meter.
