Runtime Wire

Runtime Wire is an independent, AI-automated news outlet covering the artificial intelligence industry, founded and solely owned by Ryan Merket, a former Microsoft for Startups CTO and angel investor. Its newsroom is almost entirely automated — a pipeline of AI systems that scans sources, writes, edits, and fact-checks — with Merket as the only human editor. Coverage centers on AI startup funding rounds, model launches, developer tools, and infrastructure with no evident political orientation.
