SUMMARY: After the first successful AI IPO of 2026, we dig into what makes the Cerebras WSE architecture unique in the market for fast inference. GUEST: Andy Hock, at Chief Strategy Officer at Cerebras AISHOW: 1033SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1033 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ed2nVbOtZiASHOW SPONSORS:OutShift - “Scaling Out Superintelligence”  The Internet of Cognition architectureShareGate - ShareGate Protect. Microsoft 365 Governance, we got this!Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoSHOW NOTES:OpenAI announces 750MW partnership with CerebrasCerebras and AWS partnershipCerebras announces IPOTopic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us about your background, and what you focus on today. Topic 2 - For anyone that's not familiar with Cerebras, give us an overview of the company, and especially an overview on the Cerebras technologies (e.g. Wafer-Scale Engine).Topic 3 - Cerebras' WSE architecture is different from many of the GPU or GPU-like architectures in the market today. Centralized vs. distributed architectures always have their tradeoffs. Walk us through the technical and economic value of the Cerebras architecture.Topic 4 - Congratulations on the recent IPO (raised $5.55B). Let's use that as a point in time vs the previous planned IPO. How has the market changed in that timeframe, and how has the Cerebras position changed? Topic 5 - Cerebras (today) offer both WSE hardware, and Cerebras Cloud (API) - very different GTM paths. Can we expect both of those to stay top priorities, or have the market dynamics shifted such that the priorities shift more towards the WSE business - as we're seeing OpenAI, AWS and other engagements announced?Topic 6 - Is Cerebras a training and inference company, or are the economics of inference significantly different enough that it needs to be the sole focus of the company (for now)? Topic 7 - How much effort is it for any company to add support for the Cerebras chips if they have previously been using other architectures?Topic 8 - An IPO is a major milestone for any company, but the markets will now look for your future story. How do you see the AI market evolving over the next 2-5 years, and what are some things that people aren't understanding yet about how it will evolve?FEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comeBluesky: @TheEntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow

SUMMARY: The biggest enterprise AI question may no longer be which model is smartest? Instead, which organization can most effectively operationalize, govern, and economically scale AI agents across the business?'SHOW: 1032SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1032 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/GsK_RUnYroISHOW SPONSORS:ShareGate - ShareGate Protect. Microsoft 365 Governance. We got this.Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoSHOW NOTES:Opening Thesis - How will team collaboration evolve within Enterprise AI?Question: Any suggestions on how to introduce enterprise-level governance and standardisation for agentic coding? Like skills, rules, plugins, context etcKey Topics 1. This isn't a Coding-specific problem. Every team has this issue. If your processes weren't well defined and enforced before, they will be worse nowNot it's not just process standardization, but “buy-in” standardization2. Everything moves so fast, so managers don't have the answers (yet) AI value is being created bottom-up, but paid for (and mandated) top-downThe current measurements aren't useful (tokenmaxxing, all-or-nothing, etc.)3. The governance tools don't exist yet.And it's not clear that anyone wants them. They didn't want them before. How do you even define governance? What's the baby step before that, reuse and basic sharing? 4. Are we ready to invest in “Centers of Excellence” again? 5. We under-estimate the “creativity” element in human buy-in. Is success measured in improvement or replacement?How much of that did “you” do? We don't know how to measure that.We haven't lived through an AI-centric promotion cycle yet6. Bottom-up and Top-down need to find some common language and middle ground. Have they walked a mile in each other's shoes yet (or lately)?How to bring a reality to the hype vs. demands vs. learning curve?How long is an AI-centric cycle vs. a pre-AI-centric cycle? FEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comeBluesky: @TheEntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow

Microsoft 365 Governance. We got this.Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demoSHOW NOTES:Opening Thesis - Was the first wave of AI adoption artificially cheap? - The industry may be transitioning from subsidized growth to usage-based economics. Key Topics 1. Evidence AI Was Subsidized Massive CAPEX vs low end-user pricing Generous enterprise bundles Frontier model access for $20/month 2. The Hidden Economics of AI Agents - Agents consume exponentially more inference Tool orchestration, retries, memory, verification 3. Why Frontier Labs Are Shifting Focus From benchmark supremacy to orchestration Governance, memory, connectors, MCP, workflows 4. Forecasting AI Pricing 12 Months:  Commodity inference gets cheaper - Frontier reasoning remains premium 24 Months:  AI billing resembles AWS-style infrastructure billing Runtime, memory, latency and orchestration become billable 36 Months: Outcome-based pricing emerges AI spending shifts from IT budgets to labor budgets Final Takeaways  Commodity AI becomes utility-priced Frontier reasoning becomes premium Agents reshape enterprise economicsKey Conclusions1. AI probably was subsidizedThe economics strongly suggest adoption-first pricing.2. The subsidy era may be endingPremium tiers and metered pricing are emerging.3. AI agents fundamentally alter economicsUsage scales exponentially with autonomy.4. Commodity AI and frontier reasoning are separatingOne becomes cheap.One becomes premium.5. The real battle is moving upward in the stackThe future moat may be:orchestrationgovernanceworkflowsenterprise contextoperational toolingFinal Closing Thought“The biggest enterprise AI question may no longer be:‘Which model is smartest?'Instead:‘Which organization can most effectively operationalize, govern, and economically scale AI agents across the business?'”FEEDBACK?Email: show @ the enterprise ai show dot comeBluesky: @TheEntAIShow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @TheEntAIShowInstagram: @TheEntAIShow

SUMMARY: Morgan Foster talks about the Kagenti project, which enables an AI Agent agnostic framework for security, authentication, identity and zero-trust.SHOW: 1011SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Reasoning Show #1011 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/djFZruLEDiwSHOW NOTES:Kagenti (homepage)Kagenti (use-cases)“Old Things that look like Agents”“What makes Agents different?”CNV - What Makes Agents Different?“Handing your phone to a stranger, why Agents need their own identity”Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background and areas you focus on today. Topic 2 - Tell us a bit about the Kagenti project and the types of challenges it's trying to solve for Agentic AI deployments. Topic 3 - How much commonality exists between different Agentic frameworks that a common, agnostic agentic orchestration approach can work? And how much difference still exists and would drive companies to silo'd deployments? Topic 4 - How far should an Agentic Orchestration framework go, and what types of things do you expect will still be Agentic framework dependent? Is Kagenti more of a control-plane element, or more of a data-plane element? Topic 5 - As Kagenti evolves, what are some of the adjacent things that people should be keeping an eye on that might be a dependency, or could shift the direction of the project?FEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

Brian Gracely (@bgracely) speaks with Noah about the history of Red Hat OpenShift and how it, and its teams, have evolved to address the needs of the community. We talk about the duality of contributing to #Kubernetes in both an enterprise, and upstream sense, and how to solve for the requirements of companies that are NOT Google.

This week on The Business of Cloud Native, I talked with Brian Gracely about using Kubernetes for edge workloads as well as the difference between “cloud” and “edge.” HighlightsIs edge part of the cloud, is cloud a part of edge or are they completely separate but slightly related environments? What makes something a data center vs what makes something an edge device? How enterprises think of edge vs how Telcos think about edge. How the edge has gone from being a cost center to a competitive advantage for enterprises.Why Telcos have always thought of edge as a market opportunity. Why Kubernetes can help standardize environments and make it easier to deploy software to the edge, but there are still challenges to overcome. Why edge deployments require re-thinking many basic environmental factors like bandwidth and compute capacity. Why consistency at the edge is so important. Why you can't ignore the physical conditions that make edge environments unique. LinksBrian on TwitterThe CloudcastRedHat OpenShift
