AI RSS and OPML Pack: Import Six Engineering Feeds
Zarif
This is one free file that subscribes your RSS reader to six AI engineering blogs at once, with no signup. Download it below, import it into your reader, and check the folder once a week.
The file is in a format called OPML, which only holds the feed addresses. Your reader fetches the articles straight from each publisher.
Last verified September 17, 2026. Recheck target: monthly. Download OPML (6 available feeds from 6 listed sources). Entries without a verified feed URL are excluded from the import.
Start with five
These five cover experiments, applied methods, research background, building with open models, and model analysis. The engineering blog directory has more writers worth reading directly.
- Simon Willison · Frequent short posts; skim weekly
Read him to see new releases actually tried: the prompt, the output, small programs and a link to the release. Good for deciding what's worth trying on your own machine.
- Eugene Yan · Irregular technical articles; check monthly
Read him to see how a way of measuring a model connects to whether the product works, with detailed examples from retrieval, recommendations and LLM apps.
- Lil’Log — Lilian Weng · Occasional deep dives; keep in RSS
Read her before you adopt the trendy name for a method. Each post explains the idea and cites the papers behind it. Save it for a slow study session, not a quick skim.
- Hugging Face Blog · Several times a week
New models, libraries and datasets, with how-to notes for people who actually run models themselves.
- Sebastian Raschka’s Magazine · Monthly-ish
LLM explanations and paper breakdowns built around code you can run yourself.
Import the pack
- Download the OPML file above and save it.
- Open your RSS reader's subscription import or OPML import setting.
- Select the file and confirm the six subscriptions before importing.
- Put the feeds in one folder and check it once a week. Turn off notifications for each new post.
Readers name their menus differently. If yours can't import a file, add the feed addresses one at a time from the table below. Importing twice can create duplicates in some readers, so check the preview before you confirm.

The directory
Each feed loaded and read correctly as RSS or Atom on September 17, 2026. That proves the subscription works, not that every article is right. A quiet feed can still be worth keeping. Infrequent essays are exactly what a reader keeps you from missing.

Hamel Husain and Chip Huyen are still worth reading directly, through the engineering blog directory. They're left out of this pack for feed problems. In Hamel's feed, 8 of the 20 checked items, including the two newest, link to the homepage instead of the post. The newest item in Chip Huyen's feed is from January 2025.
Keep the inbox small
Pick one article to dig into each week and archive the rest.
When a feed goes quiet, visit the publisher's homepage before you delete it. The feed may have moved. If an import fails, add one feed by hand to see whether the feed is broken or the file is.
Prefer email? The newsletter directory covers newsletters instead. Use Start here to connect your reading to a career or a build project.
