The Cognitive Revolution
Intelligence on the Edge: Liquid AI's Ramin Hasani on the Search for Device-Native Foundation Models
“Yeah, but let's zoom in maybe a little bit more on that neuron. And I guess I'm wondering a little bit too, what is the fundamental limit, or what are the first bottlenecks that you you hit when you try to scale the original liquid approach. With the sigmoid-type functions tha...”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“Just for calibration, when you talk about the liquid neural networks that have gone up to hundreds of thousands or pushing a million neurons. What kind of hardware does that run on? Is that like a CPU supercomputer?”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“these systems can be, like, very, very powerful and do stuff.”

The AI Daily Brief
AI Companies Are Hiring More
“The Journal described it as a, quote, handset-like device designed to reshape how humans interact with AI. They wrote that it's slimmer than an iPhone, would run on a proprietary operating system, and would integrate technology from xAI. Elon was quick to deny the reporting, c...”

Practical AI
Image Generation and Visual Intelligence with Black Forest Labs
“That's awesome. And just to follow up on that, I know some people out there, our listeners are always trying things on, you know, on their laptop or wherever they're, they're, they're pulling down things. I know for quite some time when I tried to access some of these models a...”

Latent Space
🔬 The Coolest Diffusion Research Isn't in LLMs — Evan Feinberg & Sergey Edunov, Genesis Molecular AI
“I can say where my main bottleneck right now is, is in GPUs.”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“Everyone says that. Yeah. Look, GPU prices are going up and up. And LLM companies are kind of sucking up all of the GPU capacity out there. And I firmly believe that what we are doing is genuinely important for humanity, like discovering new medicines for yourself, for your lo...”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“I don't know if you can answer this, but are you looking at non-NVIDIA? I mean, I guess you guys are NVIDIA partners or whatever, so, but like there, I've seen that some companies are pivoting towards a multi-architecture model so that you can take advantage of other suppliers...”

The Cognitive Revolution
1000 Designs a Day: Neural Concept's Thomas von Tschammer on AI-Native Engineering
“Do you think humanoid robotics or robotics more generally, um, is critical to this, especially on the unlocking the speed on the manufacturing side? I mean, I think there's a lot of different ways you could imagine unlocking more agility on the manufacturing side. Um, how much...”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“the reasoning models bring all these same engineering paradigms to the machine tools themselves, and that is enough to kind of speed things up”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“I do believe that robots will be now critical when we think about manufacturing”

AI Inside
RAMageddon Reshapes Tech (And It's Not Pretty)
“It ain't over yet because another 30 to 40% on top of that in Q4. And then the report says there's really not going to be any relief until maybe 2028. And it's just, it's just crazy. Like, and I saw another story, I didn't put it in here earlier, about just kind of the impact ...”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“Yeah, I kind of figured that these would be, these would be different chips for AI, but no, this is a, this is a commodity. Uh, and, uh, I, I hadn't seen this coming. Uh, you know, obviously I did within the last few months, but, uh, in, in the spread of AI and the data center...”
ConceptHardware
Report this moment“Yeah, that, that they've got a major deal. I always have a soft spot in my heart for Micron, if only for the fact that it's a Boise, Idaho company and I'm from Boise, Idaho. So I'm always like, oh yay, Microsoft or Micron's in the news. I think they've just seen astronomical d...”
