Gouvernance de l'IA en entreprise : pourquoi la conformité RGPD et IA Act ne peut plus être un sujet réservé au DPOConformité, RGPD, IA Act : dans beaucoup d'entreprises, ces mots renvoient directement à un service : le juridique, le DPO, parfois la DSI. Un sujet que l'on délègue, que l'on coche, et dont on espère ne plus avoir à s'occuper. C'est justement l'angle mort que j'ai voulu creuser dans ce nouvel épisode de Digital Feeling, avec Leïla Chaudhry, consultante et experte en éthique et IA responsable.Nous avions déjà co-animé un webinaire ensemble sur ces questions, et la demande de clarification était trop forte pour s'arrêter là. Dans ce 164 ème épisode, Leïla revient sur ce qui distingue une simple mise en conformité d'une véritable gouvernance de l'IA, sur le risque très concret du Shadow IA, et sur les premières jurisprudences qui commencent à dessiner les contours de la responsabilité des entreprises.Gouvernance de l'IA : une définitionLa gouvernance de l'IA en entreprise désigne l'ensemble des règles, rôles et responsabilités permettant de savoir qui fait quoi avec l'intelligence artificielle, dans quel cadre de sécurité, avec quelles limites, et avec quelle auditabilité. Contrairement à une approche de conformité classique, elle repose sur un pilotage collectif et non sur un seul département.Comme le rappelle Leïla Chaudhry, la gouvernance ne se décrète pas depuis un seul bureau : elle se construit dès qu'une entreprise commence à intégrer des outils liés à l'intelligence artificielle, et elle engage plusieurs fonctions à la fois.Pourquoi la conformité IA ne peut pas reposer sur un seul serviceC'est la première idée forte de cet échange : dès qu'on parle d'IA, les responsabilités s'entremêlent. Il ne s'agit pas d'opposer le juridique, la DSI ou le métier, mais de les faire travailler ensemble au sein d'un même comité de pilotage.Leïla détaille les rôles qui doivent, selon elle, être représentés autour de la table :Le métier / business owner, qui prend la décision et engage l'entreprise vis-à-vis de ses clientsL'IT, qui évalue l'architecture et la performance de la solutionLa sécurité, qui contrôle les risques cyber sur la durée de vie du systèmeLe juridique et la conformité, qui posent le cadre, définissent les usages autorisés et veillent au respect des obligationsLe DPO, sur les questions de données personnelles et d'anonymisationL'objectif : construire une gouvernance suffisamment robuste pour que les responsabilités soient claires et partagées, plutôt que diluées.L'erreur la plus fréquente : se renvoyer la balleSur le terrain, l'erreur qu'elle observe le plus souvent chez ses clients n'est pas un manque de bonne volonté, mais un jeu de ping-pong organisationnel : l'IT qui dit que ce n'est pas son ressort, le métier qui renvoie vers la sécurité ou le juridique, et personne qui n'avance vraiment. Résultat : l'innovation attend, les projets prennent du retard, et l'absence de cadre clair finit par exposer l'entreprise à un non-respect des réglementations.Cette gouvernance n'a d'ailleurs pas besoin d'être lourde ou ultra-formalisée pour être efficace. Ce que décrit Leïla ressemble davantage à un espace de dialogue régulier entre profils non techniques et techniques, chacun apportant sa brique : le juridique pose le cadre, le métier exprime le besoin, l'IT évalue la faisabilité, le DPO signale les points d'anonymisation nécessaires.Le Shadow IA : le risque que la RGPD n'avait pas anticipéDeuxième sujet central de l'épisode, et sans doute le plus concret pour beaucoup d'entreprises : le Shadow IA. On connaît le Shadow IT depuis longtemps ; le Shadow IA en est le prolongement direct, à une différence près : la vitesse à laquelle il se répand.Le Shadow IA désigne l'usage, par des collaborateurs, d'outils d'intelligence artificielle non validés par l'entreprise (souvent des LLM grand public gratuits) pour traiter des données professionnelles, parfois personnelles, confidentielles ou stratégiques.Un chiffre partagé par Leïla lors de notre précédent webinaire donne la mesure du problème : près de 70 % des entreprises auraient déjà été concernées par du Shadow IA, sans même en avoir conscience.Le mécanisme est souvent le même : une entreprise peut interdire l'accès à certains outils sur les postes de travail professionnels, mais rien n'empêche un collaborateur d'utiliser son smartphone personnel pour poser une question, rédiger un email, ou transmettre des informations client : noms, données personnelles, parfois des éléments confidentiels comme un brevet ou un futur modèle de véhicule pas encore annoncé.Pourquoi les dirigeants sous-estiment ce risqueLeïla identifie plusieurs biais récurrents chez les dirigeants :Le biais de la fausse sécurité : penser que les données de l'entreprise sont bien protégées, alors qu'elles transitent par des outils grand public sans consentement ni cadre.Le biais de la taille : se dire que la CNIL cible surtout les grands groupes (Google, Amazon) et que les sanctions record ne concernent pas les PME.Le calcul de risque à court terme : préférer encaisser une éventuelle amende plutôt que d'investir dans la formation ou l'accompagnement, sans intégrer le coût réel d'un contrôle.Or, comme le rappelle Leïla, la réglementation s'applique à toutes les entreprises, quelle que soit leur taille. Une sanction proportionnelle au chiffre d'affaires reste un choc financier, même pour une structure modeste.Comment limiter le Shadow IA sans bloquer l'innovationInterdire ne suffit pas : dans les faits, un employeur ne peut pas empêcher l'usage d'un LLM sur un terminal personnel. La réponse de Leïla repose sur trois leviers complémentaires :Sensibiliser les équipes aux enjeux RGPD et IA Act, au-delà d'une simple charte d'usage signée une foisCartographier et classifier les données selon leur niveau de sensibilité (données publiques déjà disponibles en ligne vs données confidentielles ou stratégiques à chiffrer et dont le partage doit être strictement encadré)Proposer une alternative interne : mettre à disposition des collaborateurs une IA d'entreprise ou des outils intégrés, pour qu'ils gagnent en productivité sans ouvrir de faille de sécuritéSur ce dernier point, elle évoque, sans entrer dans le détail technique, la possibilité de s'appuyer sur des modèles déjà entraînés (elle cite Mistral à titre d'exemple) et de les adapter avec les données propres de l'entreprise plutôt que de partir de zéro.Conformité et souscription : ce que change une licence entrepriseUn point que nous n'évoquons pas assez souvent : souscrire une licence entreprise à un outil d'IA générateur (Claude, ChatGPT en version professionnelle) plutôt que de laisser les équipes utiliser des comptes gratuits change la donne en matière de confidentialité et de chiffrement des échanges avec, pour Google, quelques conditions à vérifier de plus près. Ce n'est pas gratuit, mais c'est aussi ce qui permet de sécuriser réellement les usages plutôt que de les subir.Et cela pose une question de fond que Leïla formule très clairement : faire de l'IA pour faire de l'IA n'a pas de sens. Avant de déployer un outil auprès de tous les collaborateurs, la vraie question est de savoir qui en a réellement besoin, pour quel usage, et pour quel gain de productivité.RGPD, IA Act : une superposition de textes, pas une redondanceBeaucoup d'entreprises se demandent si le RGPD, antérieur à la démocratisation de l'IA générative, est encore adapté. Pour Leïla, la réponse tient en un principe simple : il n'y a pas d'IA sans données, et il n'y a pas d'IA de qualité sans données de qualité donc pas d'IA sans RGPD.L'IA Act ne remplace pas le RGPD : il vient s'y superposer, avec ses propres exigences en matière de gestion des risques algorithmiques, notamment sur les sujets à fort enjeu humain.Les premières jurisprudences à connaîtreLeïla cite plusieurs précédents qui donnent une idée assez nette des priorités des autorités :Cas Sujet Enseignement CNIL vs Amazon Algorithmes de surveillance de la productivité (rythme de travail, pauses) Les outils de contrôle algorithmique du travail sont une cible prioritaire des sanctions Algorithmes de tri de CV (ATS) Biais introduits par les données d'entraînement, pas par l'algorithme lui-même Un système entraîné sur les profils "qui ont réussi" dans l'entreprise peut reproduire des discriminations existantes (âge, profil type) Air Canada Chatbot ayant transmis une information erronée à un client L'entreprise reste juridiquement responsable des décisions prises par ses outils d'IA, y compris un simple chatbot Employé licencié après usage d'une IA "gratuite" Faute liée à l'usage d'un outil non validé, avec impact client L'employeur ne peut pas se dédouaner en argumentant que c'est "la faute du salarié", l'entreprise reste responsable.Un principe commun ressort de ces exemples : on ne peut jamais reporter la responsabilité sur "la faute de la machine". L'IA reste un outil ; la responsabilité juridique reste entièrement du côté de l'entreprise qui le déploie.Sur le sujet spécifique des ATS et du recrutement, Leïla voit dans l'IA Act une opportunité positive : en imposant des degrés de protection pour les décisions à impact humain, le texte pourrait justement remettre un peu d'humain dans des processus de recrutement devenus, depuis des années déjà, largement automatisés et parfois déshumanisants.Privacy by Design : intégrer la conformité dès la première minuteDernier point structurant de l'échange : à quel moment intégrer la conformité dans un projet IA ? La réponse de Leïla est sans ambiguïté : dès la conception, en s'appuyant sur le principe de Privacy by Design.Un projet d'IA conçu sans respecter le RGPD dès le départ s'expose à un scénario coûteux : les autorités peuvent, dans certains cas, contraindre une entreprise à détruire purement et simplement le modèle développé, parce qu'il ne respecte pas les droits des personnes ou la protection des données personnelles. Tout le temps et l'argent investis sont alors perdus, et il faut recommencer de zéro.Intégrer la conformité en amont n'est donc pas qu'une contrainte réglementaire : c'est aussi, très concrètement, un avantage concurrentiel. Une entreprise en règle ne prend pas le risque d'être arrêtée en plein projet et de devoir tout reprendre à zéro.Deux principes reviennent régulièrement dans les propos de Leïla sur ce point : la source des données doit toujours être claire, et leur traitement doit rester transparent même si, comme je le souligne dans l'épisode en écho au livre d'Éric Hazan, la transparence algorithmique reste un sujet complexe, parfois plus exigeant que celui qu'on demande aux humains eux-mêmes.Les 3 conseils de Leïla Chaudhry pour démarrer une réflexion IA responsablePour conclure l'épisode, je demande toujours à mes invités un conseil actionnable. Voici les trois axes que Leïla propose aux entreprises qui démarrent leur réflexion sur l'IA responsable :Concevoir et déployer les systèmes en s'appuyant sur le RGPD, en s'assurant que toutes les obligations sont respectées : information des personnes, base légale, sécurité des données.Se former et sensibiliser ses équipes au Shadow IA, en intégrant des cas d'usage métier concrets plutôt qu'une charte théorique, et en identifiant les besoins réels avant de choisir une technologie.Se mettre en conformité dès maintenant, sans attendre l'entrée en vigueur complète de l'IA Act. Le calendrier de certains volets du texte a pu glisser (notamment avec le paquet dit "omnibus numérique"), mais RGPD et IA Act se superposent déjà : attendre, c'est prendre du retard sur un cadre qui s'applique en grande partie dès aujourd'hui.En résuméLa gouvernance de l'IA responsable n'est ni un sujet purement juridique, ni un sujet purement technique : c'est un sujet collectif, qui engage le métier, l'IT, la sécurité et le juridique autour d'une même table. Le vrai risque aujourd'hui n'est pas tant la complexité du RGPD ou de l'IA Act que le Shadow IA, cet usage informel, individuel, largement invisible pour la direction, qui expose l'entreprise sans qu'elle en ait toujours conscience.Retenez surtout ceci : la conformité intégrée dès la conception coûte moins cher que la conformité corrigée après coup. Et la meilleure IA n'est pas la plus puissante, c'est celle qui répond à un vrai besoin métier, dans un cadre maîtrisé.

What happens when a consulting firm decides to start leading M&A transactions and, separately, writing checks into the very deals it consults on? Clint Simkins of DPO&Co joins host Greg Hawver to answer that question, tracing the firm's evolution from a strategy consulting shop into a fully integrated platform spanning consulting, QoE and transaction advisory services, principal investing, and a $100 million fund raise. Clint explains how scrutinizing value creation plans — including spotting internal contradictions that other LPs never get to — is the first place DPO looks when evaluating a deal. He also details how DPO's commercial HVAC roll-up has completed 20 transactions in just 22 months. Tune in for a rare look inside a firm that has built a compounding edge across every stage of the independent sponsor ecosystem.

Send us Fan MailIn this slightly chaotic (and mildly censored) April Fools' episode, hosts Paul Breitbarth, Ralph O'Brien, and Dr. K Royal welcome Simon Pillinger of Pillinger Privacy, also known as the first president of the People's Republic of North Oxfordshire, to discuss how humour, healthcare, and hard-won experience shape a career in data protection—and why the profession sometimes takes itself far too seriously. Along the way, they unpack the risks of “compliance theatre”, the human reality behind privacy decisions, and how a well-timed joke can be more effective than a 6,000-word DPIA.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costas welcomes back fan-favorite Dr. Paul "Nacho" Goodman for an unfiltered conversation on entrepreneurship, associate hiring, live events, and the evolving dental landscape. They dive into the realities of running multiple businesses, transitioning from clinical dentistry to CEO life, and why so many dentists wait too long to hire an associate—often creating unnecessary chaos in their practices. Paul shares insights from Dentist Job Connect, discusses the ongoing hygienist shortage, and offers a balanced perspective on DSO and DPO "drama." The episode also highlights the power of live events, mentorship, and surrounding yourself with the right people to accelerate growth. As always, it's real talk, practical wisdom, and plenty of laughs between two seasoned dental entrepreneurs. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!

A Inteligência Artificial está redefinindo a forma como as empresas trabalham com temas como privacidade, governança e responsabilidade no uso de dados e ainda influindo fortemente na competitividade. Um novo estudo da Cisco revela que, no Brasil, 95% das organizações ampliaram seus programas de privacidade e 91% planejam investir ainda mais para acompanhar a complexidade da IA. Porém, o desafio vai além do compliance, já que 73% das empresas brasileiras enfrentam dificuldades para acessar dados relevantes e de alta qualidade. E apenas 20% delas consideram essas estruturas maduras o suficiente para lidar com a rápida evolução dos modelos de IA, inclusive os agênticos. Para falar deste cenário e desafios, o apresentador Daniel Gonzales recebe, no Start Eldorado desta semana, Marcia Muniz, diretora jurídica da Cisco América Latina e Canadá e DPO da Cisco no Brasil. O Start vai ao ar todas as quartas-feiras, às 21h, na Rádio Eldorado FM (107,3 para a Grande SP), no app e site e também pode ser ouvido nas principais plataformas de áudio em formato de podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
AI is transforming the world—but is it transforming privacy for better or for risk? We trust our GP with our deepest secrets, but can we extend that same trust to AI-powered systems and cloud-based suppliers? And if AI can re-identify people even in anonymized research data, is “anonymous” still real anymore? In this episode, Punit Bhatia and Tania Palmariellodiviney reveals how AI tools reshape confidentiality, integrity, availability, cloud sprawl, supplier risk, clinical transcription accuracy, re-identification, and even personal fears like voice-based deepfakes. The voice of experience rings clear: digital trust isn't a checkbox…it's engineered early with transparency, responsible data use, privacy by design, and safety by design.

Are you relying on the sale of your practice to fund your retirement? Before you accept an attractive offer from a DSO, it's critical to understand what those numbers really mean — and what alternatives exist.In this episode, Kirk Behrendt interviews Dr. Bob Margeas, founder of Iowa Dental Group in Des Moines, Iowa, about how he evaluated multiple DSO offers, broke down EBITDA and earn-outs, and ultimately chose a different transition strategy. They discuss adjusted EBITDA, recap risk, associate buy-ins, creative ownership structures, and why equity matters more than a headline purchase price. If you're considering selling your practice — or simply want to understand your options — listen to Episode 1010 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysEBITDA is calculated differently than a dentist's net income and often includes add-backs that significantly change a practice's valuation.Most DSOs evaluate practices on an accrual basis rather than cash basis accounting, which affects perceived profitability.Earn-outs and recapitalization payouts are tied to performance and market conditions and are not guaranteed.Selling to a DSO typically requires the dentist to stay for several years, effectively replacing future EBITDA with the sale proceeds.Structuring an associate buy-in based on trailing three-year profits can allow debt to be serviced without increasing production.Ownership equity creates long-term wealth potential that an associate-only model does not provide.Dentists who are financially independent have more flexibility and leverage when evaluating transition options.Snippets00:00 Intro03:00 The difference between a DSO and a DPO.05:00 Understanding EBITDA and common add-backs.08:00 Why DSOs prefer accrual accounting over cash basis.10:00 How earn-outs and clawbacks work.13:30 Hiring an associate based on personality and communication skills.15:00 Structuring a 20% buy-in using trailing three-year profits.17:00 Reducing clinical days while maintaining profitability.21:00 Merging practices into a holding company model.24:00 Why saving early creates flexibility at transition.30:00 “I'm just a referee” — communicating treatment without pressure.34:00 Why equity ownership is essential for long-term wealth.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesDr. Bob Margeas is the founder of Iowa Dental Group in Des Moines, Iowa.

In this episode of Business Brain, Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton are joined by Juliana Berger, Head of Payments at QuickBooks, to unpack where founders most often misunderstand how cashflow systems actually connect. They explore the “mycelium” of a business—the meaningful connectivity layer where every dollar in and every dollar out matters—and why fragmented tools quietly create anxiety, inefficiency, and blind spots that erode confidence. The conversation dives into what truly defines business health: durable, predictable cashflow. From cashflow run rate and cash efficiency to DSO, DPO, and operational resiliency, the hosts break down how accuracy, automation, and smart guardrails create leverage instead of chaos.

This is a quick check-in, plus a trader-friendly breakdown of the biggest 2025 shifts and what to watch in 2026. We cover five trends from 2025 (AI everywhere, privacy and cookieless reality, CTV growth, RMNs going more programmatic, and supply quality/transparency). Then we close with three 2026 predictions: curation becoming "default infrastructure," AI as a co-pilot (not autopilot), and multi-identity strategies becoming standard. This episode also includes the 2026 community focus: subscribe to YouTube + the newsletter, confirm your subscription, and reach out if you want to contribute (writing, audio, or guest spots). Here's What You'll Learn What "AI everywhere" means for traders: less manual tuning, more strategy and interpretation Why privacy-first is still a day-to-day skill, even if cookies hang around longer than expected Why CTV is no longer "experimental" and how measurement expectations are changing Why more RMNs going programmatic changes how you think about signals and audiences What "supply quality + transparency" should actually include (fees, paths, reporting depth) 2026 prediction: curation becomes the baseline (SSP curation vs curation houses vs curation desks) 2026 prediction: AI moves from rules-based automation to agent-style workflows (co-pilot mindset) Why you still need foundations first (know how to do it manually before you let AI help) Subscribe to the Programmatic Digest Podcast on your favorite platform (including Spotify) https://www.heleneparker.com/programmatic-digest-podcast/ Subscribe to the Programmatic Digest YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@programmaticdigest Join the newsletter and confirm your subscription: https://www.heleneparker.com/newsletter/ Access the Programmatic Training here: https://www.heleneparker.com/library/ No String Attached - MediaMath DSP (including Agent AI Connector): helene.parker@infillion.com Timestamps • 00:00 – Intro: Welcome to the first Programmatic Digest of 2026. • 01:15 – Channel Updates: YouTube growth and the importance of the weekly newsletter. • 03:30 – Hands-on Support: Tips, hacks, and activation-focused support in the newsletter. • 05:45 – Calling for Contributors: Opportunities to host, write, and build industry authority. • 08:20 – The Programmatic Training Library: Combining six years of workshops and courses. • 11:00 – Micro-Workshops: Real-world DSP setup support and "programmatic ninja" coaching. • 13:15 – 2025 Trend #1: AI Everywhere—Automated bidding, optimization, and predictive modeling. • 16:00 – AI for Productivity: Using tools like ChatGPT to simplify industry jargon and workflows. • 19:45 – 2025 Trend #2: Privacy-First & Cookieless—The multiple identity approach. • 22:10 – 2025 Trend #3: CTV and Audio—Moving from experimental to action-driven channels. • 25:30 – 2025 Trend #4: Retail Media Networks (RMN)—New players like Loves Media and Go Puff. • 28:45 – The Value of Diversification: How audience insights drive revenue for traders. • 31:15 – 2025 Trend #5: Supply Quality & Transparency—Demanding log-level data and fee clarity. • 34:00 – 2026 Prediction #1: Curation as Default—SSP curation, Curation Houses, and Desks. • 38:15 – 2026 Prediction #2: AI as Co-Pilot—Moving from "automated" to "agentic" intelligence. • 41:30 – Media Math Agent Connector: Managing campaigns via AI prompts without UI clicks. • 45:00 – The "Rice Cooker" Analogy: Why you must understand manual foundations before using AI. • 48:15 – Advanced Reporting: Tying campaign data to real-world consumer behavior and brand impact. • 51:45 – 2026 Prediction #3: Dual Identity Strategies—Using the Media Math X Graph. • 54:30 – Under the Hood: Investigating "proprietary" tech and demanding the "Carfax" for AdTech. • 57:00 – Final Takeaways: "Grace over Guilt" and putting your 2026 plans into action. • 1:00:15 – Closing Encouragement: Mental and spiritual health for the year ahead Meet The Team: Hélène Parker - Chief Programmatic Coach https://www.heleneparker.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/helene-parker Manuela Cortes - Co-Host Programmatic Digest In Espanol: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manuela-cortes- Learn Programmatic As a TEAM: https://www.heleneparker.com/workshop/ As a Programmatic Ninja: https://www.heleneparker.com/course/ Programmatic Coaching Newsletter:https://www.heleneparker.com/newsletter/ Programmatic Digest https://www.linkedin.com/company/programmatic-digest-podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBGMMRsZkw0IIUbQIJmMBxw Looking for programmatic training/coaching?

From pre-training data curation to shipping GPT-4o, o1, o3, and now GPT-5 thinking and the shopping model, Josh McGrath has lived through the full arc of OpenAI's post-training evolution—from the PPO vs DPO debates of 2023 to today's RLVR era, where the real innovation isn't optimization methods but data quality, signal trust, and token efficiency. We sat down with Josh at NeurIPS 2025 to dig into the state of post-training heading into 2026: why RLHF and RLVR are both just policy gradient methods (the difference is the input data, not the math), how GRPO from DeepSeek Math was underappreciated as a shift toward more trustworthy reward signals (math answers you can verify vs. human preference you can't), why token efficiency matters more than wall-clock time (GPT-5 to 5.1 bumped evals and slashed tokens), how Codex has changed his workflow so much he feels “trapped” by 40-minute design sessions followed by 15-minute agent sprints, the infrastructure chaos of scaling RL (”way more moving parts than pre-training”), why long context will keep climbing but agents + graph walks might matter more than 10M-token windows, the shopping model as a test bed for interruptability and chain-of-thought transparency, why personality toggles (Anton vs Clippy) are a real differentiator users care about, and his thesis that the education system isn't producing enough people who can do both distributed systems and ML research—the exact skill set required to push the frontier when the bottleneck moves every few weeks.We discuss:* Josh's path: pre-training data curation → post-training researcher at OpenAI, shipping GPT-4o, o1, o3, GPT-5 thinking, and the shopping model* Why he switched from pre-training to post-training: “Do I want to make 3% compute efficiency wins, or change behavior by 40%?”* The RL infrastructure challenge: way more moving parts than pre-training (tasks, grading setups, external partners), and why babysitting runs at 12:30am means jumping into unfamiliar code constantly* How Codex has changed his workflow: 40-minute design sessions compressed into 15-minute agent sprints, and the strange “trapped” feeling of waiting for the agent to finish* The RLHF vs RLVR debate: both are policy gradient methods, the real difference is data quality and signal trust (human preference vs. verifiable correctness)* Why GRPO (from DeepSeek Math) was underappreciated: not just an optimization trick, but a shift toward reward signals you can actually trust (math answers over human vibes)* The token efficiency revolution: GPT-5 to 5.1 bumped evals and slashed tokens, and why thinking in tokens (not wall-clock time) unlocks better tool-calling and agent workflows* Personality toggles: Anton (tool, no warmth) vs Clippy (friendly, helpful), and why Josh uses custom instructions to make his model “just a tool”* The router problem: having a router at the top (GPT-5 thinking vs non-thinking) and an implicit router (thinking effort slider) creates weird bumps, and why the abstractions will eventually merge* Long context: climbing Graph Blocks evals, the dream of 10M+ token windows, and why agents + graph walks might matter more than raw context length* Why the education system isn't producing enough people who can do both distributed systems and ML research, and why that's the bottleneck for frontier labs* The 2026 vision: neither pre-training nor post-training is dead, we're in the fog of war, and the bottleneck will keep moving (so emotional stability helps)—Josh McGrath* OpenAI: https://openai.com* X: https://x.com/j_mcgraphFull Video EpisodeTimestamps00:00:00 Introduction: Josh McGrath on Post-Training at OpenAI00:04:37 The Shopping Model: Black Friday Launch and Interruptability00:07:11 Model Personality and the Anton vs Clippy Divide00:08:26 Beyond PPO vs DPO: The Data Quality Spectrum in RL00:01:40 Infrastructure Challenges: Why Post-Training RL is Harder Than Pre-Training00:13:12 Token Efficiency: The 2D Plot That Matters Most00:03:45 Codex Max and the Flow Problem: 40 Minutes of Planning, 15 Minutes of Waiting00:17:29 Long Context and Graph Blocks: Climbing Toward Perfect Context00:21:23 The ML-Systems Hybrid: What's Hard to Hire For00:24:50 Pre-Training Isn't Dead: Living Through Technological Revolution Get full access to Latent.Space at www.latent.space/subscribe

In this special release episode, Matt sits down with Nathan Lambert and Luca Soldaini from Ai2 (the Allen Institute for AI) to break down one of the biggest open-source AI drops of the year: OLMo 3. At a moment when most labs are offering “open weights” and calling it a day, AI2 is doing the opposite — publishing the models, the data, the recipes, and every intermediate checkpoint that shows how the system was built. It's an unusually transparent look into the inner machinery of a modern frontier-class model.Nathan and Luca walk us through the full pipeline — from pre-training and mid-training to long-context extension, SFT, preference tuning, and RLVR. They also explain what a thinking model actually is, why reasoning models have exploded in 2025, and how distillation from DeepSeek and Qwen reasoning models works in practice. If you've been trying to truly understand the “RL + reasoning” era of LLMs, this is the clearest explanation you'll hear.We widen the lens to the global picture: why Meta's retreat from open source created a “vacuum of influence,” how Chinese labs like Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, and Moonshot surged into that gap, and why so many U.S. companies are quietly building on Chinese open models today. Nathan and Luca offer a grounded, insider view of whether America can mount an effective open-source response — and what that response needs to look like.Finally, we talk about where AI is actually heading. Not the hype, not the doom — but the messy engineering reality behind modern model training, the complexity tax that slows progress, and why the transformation between now and 2030 may be dramatic without ever delivering a single “AGI moment.” If you care about the future of open models and the global AI landscape, this is an essential conversation.Allen Institute for AI (AI2)Website - https://allenai.orgX/Twitter - https://x.com/allen_aiNathan LambertBlog - https://www.interconnects.aiLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/natolambert/X/Twitter - https://x.com/natolambertLuca SoldainiBlog - https://soldaini.netLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/soldni/X/Twitter - https://x.com/soldniFIRSTMARKWebsite - 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) – Cold Open(00:39) – Welcome & today's big announcement(01:18) – Introducing the Olmo 3 model family(02:07) – What “base models” really are (and why they matter)(05:51) – Dolma 3: the data behind Olmo 3(08:06) – Performance vs Qwen, Gemma, DeepSeek(10:28) – What true open source means (and why it's rare)(12:51) – Intermediate checkpoints, transparency, and why AI2 publishes everything(16:37) – Why Qwen is everywhere (including U.S. startups)(18:31) – Why Chinese labs go open source (and why U.S. labs don't)(20:28) – Inside ATOM: the U.S. response to China's model surge(22:13) – The rise of “thinking models” and inference-time scaling(35:58) – The full Olmo pipeline, explained simply(46:52) – Pre-training: data, scale, and avoiding catastrophic spikes(50:27) – Mid-training (tail patching) and avoiding test leakage(52:06) – Why long-context training matters(55:28) – SFT: building the foundation for reasoning(1:04:53) – Preference tuning & why DPO still works(1:10:51) – The hard part: RLVR, long reasoning chains, and infrastructure pain(1:13:59) – Why RL is so technically brutal(1:18:17) – Complexity tax vs AGI hype(1:21:58) – How everyone can contribute to the future of AI(1:27:26) – Closing thoughts

"The number one driver of small to medium sized businesses not making it is cash flow problems. It's not that they're not profitable. This is the big thing with net cash that most people don't realize, is that you can run a profitable business and run out of money." -Tommy Vincent In this spotlight episode, Tommy Vincent, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Hub Analytics, returns to share how bookkeepers can confidently step into advisory by focusing on just 3 key metrics. He explains how to measure, track, and present them to clients in a way that builds trust and drives business growth.
