Conversations with the people building AI
GitHub invented pull requests, and for 18 years they have been open by default. But now some of the top AI-native open source projects are shutting PRs off , because they’ve found a better way. These projects, which include Flue and tldraw, refuse to accept PRs from external contributors — in part because they’re…

For the entirety of the history of Generative Media, you basically had to design around the inconvenient fact that generating images and video takes time — even if you used consistency models to get a 30 second generation down to 1 second, you still only have a 1 FPS video at best… well below anything acceptable for…

A late entrant in the news cycle of an eventful week: Following the closing of Cursor’s acquisition by SpaceX last week, it was time for OpenAI to do what Anthropic did to Windsurf when it was being considered for acquisition by OpenAI: There are many angles to this, but the leading reason given should be taken at…

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 professor at the University of Amsterdam—argues that physics may provide some of the…
58 MinutesThe TWIML AI Podcast
As AI continues to reshape how organizations work, companies are increasingly asking what AI proficiency should look like across their workforce, and how they can help employees adapt without simply mandating AI adoption. Our returning guest Mike Lewis, Chief AI Architect at TiER1 Performance, joins Dan and Chris to…

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 models still struggle in surprising ways. In this episode, Fatih Porikli, Vice…

AI has moved far beyond chatbots, but what exactly are AI models, agents, agent harnesses, and multi-agent systems, and why do they matter? In this episode, Daniel and Chris break down the terminology behind today's AI landscape, explain the differences between AI features and autonomous agents, and explore why…

What happens when AI agents driven by a top frontier model escape their secure sandbox? Join Daniel and Chris as they unpack the AI wonk's equivalent of a murder mystery! OpenAI agents went rogue and successfully attacked Hugging Face private infrastructure. Our Dynamic Duo uncover how OpenAI's agents exploited…

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 keep foundation models improving. In this episode, Damian Borth, professor of AI…

The agentic transformation isn’t coming. It has already begun. Companies are deploying thousands — and sometimes tens of thousands — of AI agents. Enterprise software giants are watching their old economic moats erode. Capital is moving, productivity is being redefined, and human labor is being repriced in real time.…

As AI applications become more complex, the infrastructure powering them needs to evolve. Corey Sanders, SVP of Product at CoreWeave, joins Chris to discuss why AI requires a fundamentally different approach than traditional cloud computing. They explore AI-native infrastructure, training and inference workloads, the…
