The band a piece of coverage lands in comes from a public registry of the domain that published it, not from any reading of the article. ### ["Napolyon'un 200 yıllık şifresini yapay zeka altı saatte çözdü"](https://www.ntv.com.tr/dunya/galeri-napolyonun-200-yillik-sifresini-yapay-zeka-alti-saatte-cozdu-1746533) ### ["拿破崙密碼信件逾200年未解 AI僅花6小時破譯 | 科技"](https://www.cna.com.tw/news/ait/202610160331.aspx) ### ["Engineer Says AI Cracked A 200-Year-Old Napoleon Letter"](https://www.boredpanda.com/ai-deciphers-napoleons-secret-message/?cexp_id=163176&_f=homepage_featured&cexp_var=1) ### ["Engineer Says AI Cracked A 200-Year-Old Napoleon Letter"](https://www.boredpanda.com/ai-deciphers-napoleons-secret-message/?cexp_id=163176&_f=homepage_featured&cexp_var=4) ### ["Engineer Says AI Cracked A 200-Year-Old Napoleon Letter"](https://www.boredpanda.com/ai-deciphers-napoleons-secret-message/?cexp_id=163176&_f=homepage_featured&cexp_var=0) ### ["L'intelligence artificielle a décrypté en quelques heures une missive de guerre rédigée en code par Napoléon, une énigme irrésolue pendant plus de 200 ans"](https://www.ledevoir.com/economie/1017476/quand-ia-permet-dechiffrer-lettre-codee-napoleon) ### ["Engineer Says AI Cracked A 200-Year-Old Napoleon Letter"](https://www.boredpanda.com/ai-deciphers-napoleons-secret-message/?cexp_id=163173&_f=homepage_featured&cexp_var=1) ### ["Engineer Says AI Cracked A 200-Year-Old Napoleon Letter"](https://www.boredpanda.com/ai-deciphers-napoleons-secret-message/?cexp_id=163173&_f=homepage_featured&cexp_var=8) ### ["Inteligencia artificial descifra en seis horas una carta secreta de Napoleón de hace 217 años"](https://www.teleamazonas.com/tendencias/entretenimiento/tecnologia/inteligencia-artificial-descifra-seis-horas-carta-secreta-napoleon-217-anos-130616/) ### ["200年無人能解的拿破崙密碼信被AI破了！GPT-6 Astra僅花6小時，揭1809年法軍部署 | 中央社 | 新聞"](https://www.storm.mg/article/11173293) ### ["Napoleonův tajný dopis z roku 1809 dešifrovala AI za pár hodin"](https://www.ceskenoviny.cz/zpravy/napoleonuv-tajny-dopis-z-roku-1809-desifrovala-ai-za-par-hodin/2889080) ### ["Napoleonův tajný dopis, nevyřešený od roku 1809, dešifrovala AI za pár hodin"](https://zpravy.tiscali.cz/napoleonuv-tajny-dopis-nevyreseny-od-roku-1809-desifrovala-ai-za-par-hodin-786266) ### ["拿破仑密码信件逾200年未解 AI仅花6小时破译 | 国际"](https://www.orientaldaily.com.my/news/international/2026/10/18/856046) ### ["Napoleon-Brief entschlüsselt: KI knackt 217 Jahre alten Geheimcode"](https://t3n.de/news/napoleon-brief-ki-entschluesselt-geheimcode-1766406/) ### ["Historici si hlavy lámali 200 rokov.

Coverage is not a development, and it is kept below. Nothing here yet. A development is a primary document or a government record arriving, a named party publishing a statement of its own, or an entry an editor has made. Outlets repeating one report are coverage, and they are in the timeline below. ## When each outlet carried it One entry the first time an outlet publishes, and a later entry from the same outlet when it publishes again more than six hours on, which is usually a follow up rather than a repeat. A document is always listed. Times are US Eastern. ## People, coverage and context ## What changed about this page Grouping is done by rule and corrected by hand. Every correction an editor makes to this story is listed here with its date. No corrections have been made to this story. Corrections appear here, dated, when they are.

It also builds Pax. Pax is an executive assistant for individuals and a chief of staff to organizations. It runs your day, drafts in your voice, and keeps the noise out across the tools you already use. This site tells you what was said about AI and who said it. Pax is the product Paciva sells, and it has no part in what the Monitor collects, how coverage is ranked, or what a Drift comparison finds.
