Venture · Peer review
Peer reviewed, by people who have built it. An invite-only review platform for AI white papers, where the reviewers are practitioners who have shipped the kind of system the paper is describing.
AI moves faster than formal peer review can follow. A paper submitted to a traditional venue can wait long enough that the systems it describes have changed underneath it. The result is a field where a great deal of consequential writing circulates as unreviewed preprints, including the two working papers on this site.
The alternative is not to abandon review but to change who does it and how quickly. The Quorum's premise is that the most useful reviewer of an applied AI paper is often someone who has built the thing in production, and that a small invited group can turn work around on a timescale the subject matter actually permits.
Running a review platform while publishing unreviewed preprints is a tension worth naming rather than hiding. Both papers on this site are labelled as not peer reviewed, on every page they appear. A venture arguing that AI work should be reviewed properly has to be honest about the review status of its founder's own output.
