About Furkan

Furkan leads AI coverage at Headlines Orbit with a focus on what large models change in everyday work — and, just as often, what they don't. Before journalism he spent years close to engineering teams shipping production ML systems, which is why his pieces try to separate genuine capability shifts from launch-week noise. He is most interested in evaluation, agent design, and the long tail of integration problems that vendors gloss over. When he is not editing AI coverage, he is testing the latest model claims against the boring real-world tasks they usually fail at — and writing about why.
