Sebastian Raschka joins the MAD Podcast for a deep, educational tour of what actually changed in LLMs in 2025 — and what matters heading into 2026.We start with the big architecture question: are transformers still the winning design, and what should we make of world models, small “recursive” reasoning models and text diffusion approaches? Then we get into the real story of the last 12 months: post-training and reasoning. Sebastian breaks down RLVR (reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards) and GRPO, why they pair so well, what makes them cheaper to scale than classic RLHF, and how they “unlock” reasoning already latent in base models.We also cover why “benchmaxxing” is warping evaluation, why Sebastian increasingly trusts real usage over benchmark scores, and why inference-time scaling and tool use may be the underappreciated drivers of progress. Finally, we zoom out: where moats live now (hint: private data), why more large companies may train models in-house, and why continual learning is still so hard.If you want the 2025–2026 LLM landscape explained like a masterclass — this is it.Sources:The State Of LLMs 2025: Progress, Problems, and Predictions - https://x.com/rasbt/status/2006015301717028989?s=20The Big LLM Architecture Comparison - https://magazine.sebastianraschka.com/p/the-big-llm-architecture-comparisonSebastian RaschkaWebsite - https://sebastianraschka.comBlog - https://magazine.sebastianraschka.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastianraschka/X/Twitter - https://x.com/rasbtFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comX/Twitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)Blog - https://mattturck.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/X/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) - Intro (01:05) - Are the days of Transformers numbered?(14:05) - World models: what they are and why people care(06:01) - Small “recursive” reasoning models (ARC, iterative refinement)(09:45) - What is a diffusion model (for text)?(13:24) - Are we seeing real architecture breakthroughs — or just polishing?(14:04) - MoE + “efficiency tweaks” that actually move the needle(17:26) - “Pre-training isn't dead… it's just boring”(18:03) - 2025's headline shift: RLVR + GRPO (post-training for reasoning)(20:58) - Why RLHF is expensive (reward model + value model)(21:43) - Why GRPO makes RLVR cheaper and more scalable(24:54) - Process Reward Models (PRMs): why grading the steps is hard(28:20) - Can RLVR expand beyond math & coding?(30:27) - Why RL feels “finicky” at scale(32:34) - The practical “tips & tricks” that make GRPO more stable(35:29) - The meta-lesson of 2025: progress = lots of small improvements(38:41) - “Benchmaxxing”: why benchmarks are getting less trustworthy(43:10) - The other big lever: inference-time scaling(47:36) - Tool use: reducing hallucinations by calling external tools(49:57) - The “private data edge” + in-house model training(55:14) - Continual learning: why it's hard (and why it's not 2026)(59:28) - How Sebastian works: reading, coding, learning “from scratch”(01:04:55) - LLM burnout + how he uses models (without replacing himself)

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by author, podcaster, and content creator Erica Gwynn to talk about the lies we believe—often without even realizing it—and how those lies quietly shape the way we see ourselves, God, and our purpose.Erica's book, That's Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn't Know You Believed with God's Unchanging Truth, released in October, tackles 17 common lies that sound good on paper but don't actually line up with Scripture. Together, we unpack how striving, perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, and cultural phrases like “I can do anything” or “manifest your dream life” can slowly pull us out of true partnership with God.We talk honestly about: • Freedom as an ongoing process, not a finish line • Why limits are not failures, but part of God's design • How rejection by people can actually be redirection and protection from God • The danger of manifesting apart from surrender • What it looks like to dream with God instead of apart from HimErica also shares the Scripture that keeps her anchored in seasons of uncertainty and encourages listeners to give themselves grace—especially at the start of a new year.This conversation is for anyone who feels tired of striving, overwhelmed by comparison, or stuck believing things about themselves that God never said.Bio:Erica Ligenza Gwynn is an author, podcaster, coach, speaker, and content creator. She's the founder of Coming Up Roses, an online community rooted in the belief that while not everything in life is pretty, and every rose has its thorn, we can still honor our seasons and live in full bloom. Erica is building a wild and wonderful life in the Philadelphia area with her husband, Jamie, their two awesome kids, their cats Purrcy and Milo, and Lucy the Labradoodle.Anchor Verses:Connect with Erica:Website: https://ericagwynn.comBlog: https://cominguprosestheblog.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/ericaligenza/https://www.facebook.com/cominguprosesthebloghttps://ericagwynn.com/podcast***We love hearing from you!

In this episode of Build America, host Scott Jennings breaks down a powerful truth every contractor needs to hear: if you want to finish on time, reduce overhead, and protect your profit—you must drive the bus. That means taking charge of your work, guiding the owner, and nudging the engineer so the entire project keeps moving.Scott dives into why owners and engineers often respond slowly, what motivates their decisions, and the simple strategies contractors can use to stay in control. From smarter RFIs to color-coded submittals, tight change-order packages, agency coordination, field walks, and quick-hit explanation meetings, Scott gives practical tools to eliminate friction and accelerate progress.You'll also hear real stories from the field, insights from major project management, and the mindset shift every contractor needs to finish strong—and finish smart.Why owners may seem “slow” and how their incentives shape response timesHow engineering billing, over-analysis, and liability concerns affect decisionsThe strategic advantage of providing the answer in your RFIsHow color-coding submittals speeds up reviewsThe three essentials every change order must includeWhy contractors should sometimes do light design to unlock workflowHow brief explanation meetings can drastically reduce delaysThe importance of prioritizing your requests instead of pushing everything at onceWhy field walks strengthen trust and teamworkHow proactive communication prevents disputes, delays, and extended overhead claims“If you want the job done on your terms, you can't sit in the passenger seat. Get in the driver's seat, drive the bus, and pull the owner and engineer with you.” – Scott JenningsLeadership—not waiting—is what drives projects forward. When contractors take control and guide owners and engineers with clarity and professionalism, projects stay on track and conflicts stay low. Driving the bus isn't doing extra work—it's protecting your schedule, your budget, and your team.Scott Jennings – Build America PodcastWebsite: sjcivil.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/scott-jennings-p-e-1435103Email: sj@sjcivil.comBlog: sjcivil.com/blogPodcast: anchor.fm/sjccsitesurveyIf you enjoyed this episode, hit Like, leave a Comment, and Subscribe for more insights that help construction and engineering pros build smarter.
