OpenAI (66.5%) accounts for the majority of AI search calls to HackerNoon, based on my analysis of end-userāinitiated requests from AI assistant and AI search to HackerNoon blogs from April 22 to May 22, 2025. AmazonBot (Anthropic) followed with 25.5%, and Perplexity trailed at 8%. The total volume of end user AI requests jumped to 2,563,800 in 30 days, which is 34% more requests for HackerNoon blogs than my April report on the AI search marketshare ā underscoring a growing dependence on AI-driven discovery.
OpenAI (51.8%) leads AI search traffic market share, based on my analysis of end-userāinitiated AI Assistant and AI Search requests to HackerNoon. While Amazon (30.4%) and Perplexity (17.9%) also secured significant portions of the market, the total volume of requests (1,915,670 in 30 days) and competition among AI search providers indicate increasing reliance on AI for information retrieval and presentation.
This analysis aggregates AI Assistant and AI Search queries to approximate end-userāinitiated AI search traffic across HackerNoon URLs. Non-human traffic such as web crawlers, bots, and automated scripts have been filtered out to ensure data reflects only human-initiated requests. The dataset reviewed comprises instances where AI systems recommended HackerNoon content in response to human queries. Between February 28 and March 28, 2025, HackerNoon received 1,915,670 AI-referred search requests. OpenAI accounted for 991,580 requests, Amazon accounted for 581,990 requests , and Perplexity accounted for 342,100 requests, according to Cloudflare AI Audit tool, which currently tracks these top providers. HackerNoon is a technical audience, so our data is better positioned to answer questions like, if you work in tech what AI search engine do you rely on?
Weāre launching a FREE and CERTIFIED course on Agents!
We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Hugging Face Agents course on Learn! This interactive, certified course will guide you through building and deploying your own AI agents.
Here's what you'll learn:
- Understanding Agents: We'll break down the fundamentals of AI agents, showing you how they use LLMs to perceive their environment (observations), reason about it (thoughts), and take actions. Think of a smart assistant that can book appointments, answer emails, or even write code based on your instructions. - Building with Frameworks: You'll dive into popular agent frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex and smolagents. These tools provide the building blocks for creating complex agent behaviors. - Real-World Applications: See how agents are used in practice, from automating SQL queries to generating code and summarizing complex documents. - Certification: Earn a certification by completing the course modules, implementing a use case, and passing a benchmark assessment. This proves your skills in building and deploying AI agents. Audience
This course is designed for anyone interested in the future of AI. Whether you're a developer, data scientist, or simply curious about AI, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to build your own intelligent agents.
Enroll today and start building the next generation of AI agent applications!
š How The Washington Post Uses AI to Empower Journalists šš°
An exciting new example in the world of AI-assisted journalism! The Post has developed an internal tool called "Hayatacker" that's enhancing in-depth reporting. Here's why it matters:
š„ What it does: ⢠Extracts stills from video files ⢠Processes on-screen text ⢠Labels objects in images
š³ļø First big project: Analyzed 745 Republican campaign ads on immigration (Jan-Jun 2024)
š¤ Human-AI collaboration: ⢠AI extracts and organizes data ⢠Reporters verify and analyze findings
š Thorough approach: ⢠Manual review of all 745 ads ⢠Reverse image searches when context is lacking ⢠Cross-referencing with AdImpact transcripts
š” Key insight from WaPo's Senior Editor for AI strategy Phoebe Connelly: "The more exciting choice is putting AI in the hands of reporters early on in the process."
This tool showcases how AI can augment journalistic capabilities without replacing human insight and verification. It's a powerful example of technology enhancing, not replacing, traditional reporting skills.
I made Tenzin public. One use-case at least to predict stock market prices for high-frequency trading. Would love to see the response as well as feedback you have for us. Please understand that this only represents 5% of the codebase of Tenzin 1.0. We will share more models and use-cases based on the feedback we receive along with keeping in mind AI safety and ethics.
Have fun and go and make some money :)

I am studying PyTorch, and I made something that converged really well for something this simplistic. It isn't masterful, but i'd welcome feedback, improvements, suggestions, anything. Tell me it sucks and to take it down, I will, just wanted to share what i've spent the last 2 days crying to figure out.
