About

Tech ou Toc is AI, tech and energy news, explained without jargon. ("Tech ou toc" is French for roughly "tech or fake".) Saw something go viral on TikTok or Instagram? We tell you what's real and what's hype, how it works, and whether it will actually change anything for you.

What you'll find here

• Daily brief: every day, the news worth knowing in 5 minutes, each item with its source.
• AI: new models and tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Mistral…) and what they can really do.
• Tech: inventions and new products, sorted between real innovation and marketing.
• Energy: fusion, batteries, solar, nuclear, power grids and the appetite of data centers.
• AI business: who makes money with AI, and why it matters. Never investment advice.

Our promise

• Always a verifiable source, cited and linked at the bottom of every article.
• What is proven on one side, what is only a promise on the other, with a realistic timeline.
• No misleading headlines, no alarmism.

About the English version

Tech ou Toc is written in French first. Every English article is translated with the help of AI from an original that a human has reviewed and approved. Some articles talk about French news (energy prices, French startups): we keep them because the story often matters beyond France.

How articles are prepared, checked and corrected: How we work.
