  • Airbnb Is Building a ‘Company Brain’ for AI Agents with Ahmad Al-Dahle

    October 21, 2026 · 52 min

    AI agents need the institutional knowledge experienced employees rely on: why a system works a certain way, which policies apply, and what never made it into the documentation. Capturing that knowledge is hard. Keeping it useful as people…

  • Your Ranking Model Is Optimizing the Wrong Thing with Zoe Weil

    October 15, 2026 · 53 min

    In this episode, Zoe Weil, co-founder and CEO of Sequen, joins us to discuss how ranking systems can use live behavioral signals to optimize for purchases rather than clicks or search relevance alone. Zoe explains why approaches developed…

    October 6, 2026 · 1 hr 30 min

    In this episode, Diogo Almeida, co-founder and CEO of TypeSafe, joins us to discuss Jev, TypeSafe’s recently released model for bringing fast, reliable intelligence directly into software. We explore the idea of “machine-native…

  • From Math Olympiads to Navier-Stokes: How Fast Is AI Progressing? with Greg Burnham

    September 29, 2026 · 1 hr 8 min

    AI systems have gone from struggling with grade-school math to helping solve research problems that have resisted mathematicians for decades, including Navier-Stokes. In this episode, Greg Burnham, who leads AI capabilities research at…

  • From Voice Agents to AI Avatars with Alexander Smola

    September 17, 2026 · 1 hr 5 min

    Voice AI has gotten remarkably good, but natural conversation remains a high bar. Small delays, awkward interruptions, or the wrong tone can quickly break the illusion—and adding vision and visual presence only raises the stakes. In this…

  • Do AI Tokenomics Matter More Than Model Benchmarks? with Chris Potts

    September 9, 2026 · 59 min

    As reasoning models consume more tokens and AI systems become more expensive to run, understanding what those tokens actually buy is becoming increasingly important. In this episode, Stanford professor and Big Spin co-founder Chris Potts…

  • World Models and the Future of Spatial AI with Justin Johnson

  • Why the Next AI Breakthrough May Come from Physics with Max Welling

    August 26, 2026 · 58 min

    The conventional wisdom in AI is that the next breakthrough will come from more compute, more data, and larger models. But what if the next leap comes from somewhere else? In this episode, Max Welling—co-founder and CTO of CuspAI and…

  • Why Image Generation Needs More Than Bigger Models with Fatih Porikli

    August 12, 2026 · 57 min

    Text-to-image models have become remarkably good at producing realistic images. But realism isn’t the same as correctness. Ask for several distinct people, a specific composition, or a high-resolution image generated locally, and today’s…

  • Why Models Are AI’s Next Training Dataset with Damian Borth

    July 27, 2026 · 47 min

    For more than a decade, AI has advanced by training ever-larger models on ever-larger datasets. But as high-quality training data becomes harder to find and pretraining grows increasingly expensive, researchers are looking for new ways to…
