How do you decide which startups are AI startups?

From what each company's own job postings say it does. Every posting we keep is summed up in a line that starts with the company ("AI safety lab building the Claude models"), and a company is on this list when at least 60% of its live postings describe one that builds AI, or what AI runs on: models, AI products and agents, chips, GPU clouds and training data. Recruiters and agencies that post other companies' roles are left out.
