“If you remember. So there is a close second that we were considering, which basically ended up becoming more of these automation tools, but especially the vision around really personalized agents. that would actually do things for you.”
“with the emergence of things like generative AI and in particular generative agents, we do have an opportunity to create these kind of agent-based models that are high fidelity, enough to help us make really complex decisions.”
“I did mute. I'm sorry, Gash. I muted you for a second while I was explaining to Gavin that I had to recreate you with ElevenLabs agents. And right now you are powered by Quinn and there's no more like copy and pasting. I can just talk to you and then you can respond. And maybe...”
“one of the things that I think is going to be a big trend moving forward is agentic tools and interaction patterns and platforms that focus on agents that live in the intersection where teams come together”
“I think that this pattern of use of agents that are shared across teams is going to be one of the biggest and most important trends for AI this fall.”
“People are responding very positively to the fact that it has its own virtual computer that it can use to solve certain types of access issues that plagued previous agents.”
“I know. And ironically, people aren't really talking much about the hallucination now because they're agentic and they can fix their own stuff. You know, it's more like, you know, if you analogize it like a database query or a program interpreter, it's only as good as the prog...”

AI in the AM — Weekly Highlights: Relaunch Week (Aug 17–20, 2026)
The eras come at us so fast in this space. You know, the moment we had, I forget exactly when it was, but there was a moment where it was like, oh, there's a GPU glut.
Why People Are Paying 10x More for AI - and What That Means for the Chip Market | Sid Sheth, d-Matrix
Wow, that's amazing. What about edge compute? It seems to me that this would apply the latency question. Are you moving at all into the edge where latency is so important?
There's no other way, right? I mean, they're going to have to find a way to use a different type of low-latency computing to augment the throughput-based computing that they've been kind of doing with HBM-based solutions. So, the GPUs or other accelerators that all use HBM jus...

The Cognitive Revolution
AI in the AM — Weekly Highlights: Relaunch Week (Aug 17–20, 2026)
Because if you look at our evals, to give you an example, we tested most models, but Gemma 4 was one of the winners in terms of quality, speed. Quite to our surprise, because if you look at most of the benchmarks, it's not one of the models, but I have a suspicion Google has s...
The market is like, oh, you know, the OpenWeights labs are gonna, you know, OpenWeights, uh, models are gonna dominate, but then it takes 9 months to deploy.
Quen, by the way, is really freaking good, and so is GLM. These are local models, or in the cloud, you can run them in the cloud or locally, that are actually great AI models that can do stuff like that.
This is using Minimax H3, an incredibly powerful open-source model that you can run locally. You can run it on— if you have a high-end graphics card, you can run it. You can rent for pennies a graphics card in the cloud to experiment. You don't have to pay out the nose for a l...
We don't know the stories behind all of that, uh, but I think it's trouble time for OpenAI. Um, and, you know, we've also discussed the last 2 weeks the, the OpenWeight models as competitors, which I think is critically important. All the more important now because of the secu...
Elon's Former Battery Chief: AI Data Centers Will Make Electricity Cheaper
I mean, I actually think the data center should just pay for the infrastructure that comes to them because The return on investment of these data centers is so high, and that infrastructure actually isn't that expensive compared to the GPUs. But if you think of data centers as...

Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs — Ilia Shumailov & Alexander Panfilov
I see. Wow. It's kind of cool, isn't it? Okay. So, and can you talk through, presumably outside of privacy, there are also safety implications around this?
Simulation: the new Scaling Law — Joon Sung Park, Simile AI
we also want to make sure that we form enough of guardrail and perspective on how to leverage this technology before we go on to serve markets like the politics
What are you seeing in terms of adoption? And like, what are maybe some of your favorite app layer creative use cases, new possibilities that are opening up as a result of of the foundational technology that you're providing?
It's super fun, super silly. And when I tell you how I made it, it is like 3 paragraphs, which blows my mind still. And along those lines, if you're not using the new GPT voice mode, Gavin, it is so good to have natural language conversations with an AI that is capable of spin...
