The Chinese Built the ULTIMATE AI News Aggregator!

A Chinese-built AI news aggregator replaces World Monitor for pure-AI feeds and cuts cost from $3–$5/run to ~$0.80/run using MiniMax.

The Source

The aggregator is a public, GitHub-hosted project built by a Chinese developer on X. Boxmining calls it "sort of like a Reddit for AI" — the landing page lists 7,000 items when you span back 7 days, all AI-specific. It surfaces launches, model updates, and Chinese-side coverage that's missing from US-centric feeds.

Drop-in Replacement for World Monitor

The setup mirrors Boxmining's earlier World Monitor pipeline: point your OpenClaw agent at the GitHub repo, let it study the codebase, then have it scrape the site on a cron job and summarize the last 24 hours. The only change is the source URL — "instead of world monitor as your source for your AI to scrape, you can use this." For AI-only readers, this is more focused than the three-bucket World Monitor report (geopolitics, finance, tech/AI).

Cost Numbers

• Claude cron job (World Monitor): $3–$5 per run. Boxmining dropped frequency from every 6 hours to once daily at 6:00 a.m. just to control spend.
• MiniMax cron job (this aggregator): ~$0.80 per run.
• Net effect: roughly 4–6x cheaper per run, and compatible with the same OpenClaw agent setup.

What Was Trending on March 6

Recorded at 7:11 p.m. Hong Kong time, the top story was a rumored "OpenAI release of GPT 5.4" with "permanent memory plus plus advanced reasoning." Boxmining flags the aggregator as especially good for tracking MiniMax ecosystem news because of the developer overlap.

Setup Options

Two paths referenced in the video: (1) a Notion-based cron workflow (linked video card), or (2) the traditional path using QMD semantic search over GitHub + Obsidian for a queryable archive. The new site boxminingai.com also indexes older videos for fast lookup.
