This I2M Web Portal is made available to clients, I2M Associates, geoscientists, and the general public worldwide with a focus on geoscientific and other matters of interest to I2M management. Searches can be conducted using single words, phrases or exact phrases (if you put them in quotes), for example: a simple phrase might be "Russian interests in U.S. uranium" whereas an exact phrase is "critical minerals".
I2M Consulting personnel also monitor hazardous field conditions around the world via our Field Alerts program, cybersecurity conditions on the Internet in our Security Alert program, and relevant bias in the Media in our Confronting Media Bias Alerts program.
Candidate papers, technical news items, classic reports, and new publications can be submitted to the I2M Web Portal editors for review. Those deemed worthy are summarized, abstracted, and/or reviewed with [Editorial comments...] and are included in this database appearing under What’s New. Some technical news announcements, short articles, or summaries are captured in total because they are deemed important in case they are later removed by publishers. They will remain as records in the I2M Web Portal database indefinitely.

Rollet reported in late March 2025 that AI models are being cranked out at a dizzying pace, by everyone from Big Tech companies like Google to startups like OpenAI and Anthropic. Keeping track of the latest ones can be overwhelming. Adding to the confusion is that AI models are often promoted based on industry benchmarks. But these technical metrics often reveal little about how real people and companies actually use them.
