Science has an incredibly impressive track record of uncovering nonintuitive ideas about the universe that turn out to be surprisingly accurate. It can be tempting to think of scientific discoveries as being carefully constructed atop a rock-solid foundation. In reality, scientific progress is tentative and fallible. Scientists propose models, assign them probabilities, and run tests to see whether they succeed or fail. In cosmologist Andrew Jaffe's new book, The Random Universe, he illustrates how models and probability help us make sense of the cosmos.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/11/10/335-andrew-jaffe-on-models-probability-and-the-universe/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Andrew Jaffe received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago. He is currently a professor of astrophysics and cosmology and Director of the Imperial Centre for Inference and Cosmology at Imperial College, London. His research lies at the intersection of theoretical and observational cosmology, including the Planck Surveyor, Euclid, LISA, and Simons Observatory collaborations.Web siteImperial web pageGoogle Scholar publicationsAmazon author pageSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A special report on the new executive role focused on optimizing the Cost of Inference and Data Pipeline Efficiency. Focusing on practical models for calculating true AI ROI.Tune in at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-rise-of-the-ai-unit-economics-officer-aueo/id1684415169?i=1000736039016Welcome to AI Unraveled, Your daily briefing on the real world business impact of AI.Today, we're diving into a problem that is quietly hitting every enterprise board meeting: The AI Success Tax. You built a brilliant generative AI product, adoption soared... and then the cloud bill landed. The traditional promise of software—near-zero marginal cost—has been shattered. AI operates like a utility with a running meter, causing a massive Margin Shock in customer-facing products and a Budget Shock in internal tools. We're calling this the AI Unit Economics Crisis. In this special edition, we unveil a new executive role built to solve it: The AI Unit Economics Officer, or AUEO. This is the hybrid leader—part FinOps expert, part Platform Head, part AI Economist—who is mandated to move your organization past failed traditional ROI metrics. We'll unpack their core missions: mastering the Cost of Inference (CoI) through technical optimization techniques like quantization, and confronting the critical reality that human data labeling costs are rapidly exceeding compute costs. Finally, we introduce the Return on Efficiency (ROE) framework, which is how the AUEO turns AI from an unpredictable liability into your most potent strategic growth lever. Stay tuned, because the true cost of intelligence is what we're unraveling today.But first, a crucial message for the enterprise builders:

Australia needs control over its intelligence layer, not just its data. We explore SCX's sovereign AI cloud, Project Magpie's cultural reasoning, and why inference economics and time-to-market beat hype-driven buildouts.• sovereign AI as control and context, not just security• SCX's inference cloud and partnership with SambaNova• Project Magpie fine-tuning the reasoning layer for Australia• training vs inference split to optimize cost and speed• tokens per kilowatt as the core unit economics• open source vs closed models in enterprise adoption• retrofitting existing data centers with pre-assembled racks• moving pilots to production through cost, control, and confidence• regional strategy across Southeast Asia and exportable tokens• agents shifting work to domain teams, doing more not just cutting costs• candid MBA debate on value, narrative, and people skills• playful Spark Tank on pickleball and rapid-fire personal insightsWhat if a nation's most critical asset isn't oil, power, or spectrum—but intelligence? We sit down with Southern Cross AI (SCX) founder David Keane, co-founder and CSO Akash Agrawal, and SambaNova's Chief Product and Strategy Officer Abhi Ingle to unpack how a sovereign AI cloud can protect context, culture, and control while still competing on cost and speed. From Australia's national needs to regional demand across Southeast Asia, we chart a pragmatic route from vision to working systems.David explains why SCX is built around inference as a service and how Project Magpie fine-tunes the reasoning layer so models “think like an Australian,” reflecting local law, language, and norms. Abhi breaks down training vs inference in plain English, clarifying why pretraining might live on massive GPU clusters while high-throughput, energy-efficient inference thrives on SambaNova's ASIC-based systems. Akash digs into enterprise realities—data sovereignty, runaway costs, and integration roadblocks—and makes the case for open source models you can fork, fine-tune, and operate within your perimeter.We get practical about tokens per kilowatt as the new ROI, pre-assembled racks that drop into existing data centers, and managed services that cut time-to-market from years to months. We explore why most buyers don't care which chip is under the hood—they care about latency, reliability, and price—and how that shifts competition from hardware logos to delivered outcomes. Go to SCX.ai to experience the future of sovereign AI.Remember, in order to win the “$1,000 token credit" you'll have to explain what a magpie is in the comments, and the team at SCX will judge the winner!David Keane - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dakeane/David serves as the Founder & CEO of SouthernCrossAI (SCX.ai), an Inference-as-a-Service platform dedicated to establishing sovereign, scalable, and cost-efficient AI infrastructure tailored for Australian requirements.Akash Agarwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aagarwal/Currently, Akash serves as the Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder of SouthernCrossAI (SCX.ai).Abhi Ingle - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingle-abhi/Abhi Ingle - Currently, Abhi serves as the Chief Product & Strategy Officer (CPSO) at SWebsite: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: sparkofages.podcast@position2.com

In this episode of "A Job Done Well," James Lawther and Jimmy Barber are joined by learning and development expert Amanda Gilbert to tackle a topic we all face but often dread: difficult conversations at work (and beyond).After a quick catch-up (including university choices and Jimmy's book recommendation for every man who has a mother), the team discuss why tough conversations feel so challenging—and how we can handle them better. Amanda introduces the "Ladder of Inference" model, helping us see how our assumptions and stories can unnecessarily escalate situations (including James' run-in with a taxi driver!). Amanda shows how quickly we can jump to conclusions and why stepping back to focus on the facts can de-escalate conflict.The episode covers:The two main types of difficult conversations: relationship-based and message-basedHow to prepare for a tough conversation (know your triggers, clarify your purpose, plan your approach)Tips for delivering difficult messages with empathy and clarityThe importance of listening deeply and allowing space for emotion—without trying to "fix" itWhy adopting a collaborative, learning mindset (instead of a combative one) can transform even the hardest discussionsAmanda also shares practical tools, such as the "left-hand column" exercise for analysing your reactions. She offers a step-by-step process for preparing for, having, and reflecting on difficult conversations.Whether you're a manager, team member, or just someone who wants to get better at those tricky talks, this episode is packed with actionable advice and real-world wisdom.Listen now and discover how to make your next difficult conversation a little bit easier.Got a question - get in touch.

In this special bonus episode of the Every Little Model podcast, we explore the Ladder of Inference—a mental model that reveals how we move from observable data to conclusions and actions, often in the blink of an eye. Developed by Chris Argyris and popularized in Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline, this framework helps us understand how we jump to conclusions, misread situations, and sometimes make decisions we later regret.

My most recent guest, Gerry O'Sullivan, talked with me about her process, The Journey of Inference. As she puts it succinctly: “Our Journey of Inference interprets the world of observable data according to our unique perspective or paradigm.”It's clear from Gerry's process and our conversation that our inferences can get us into trouble, precisely because we each carry a unique perspective or paradigm.Dictionary definitions of infer are, if not quite unique, not fully consistent.For example, one says infer means to conclude through reasoning. Another than infer means to guess or use reasoning. And yet another statesInfer can mean “to derive by reasoning; conclude or judge from premises or evidence.”It's that guessing, those premises, that can wreak havoc.  Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

In this episode, we're joined by Kunle Olukotun, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Stanford University and co-founder and chief technologist at Sambanova Systems, to discuss reconfigurable dataflow architectures for AI inference. Kunle explains the core idea of building computers that are dynamically configured to match the dataflow graph of an AI model, moving beyond the traditional instruction-fetch paradigm of CPUs and GPUs. We explore how this architecture is well-suited for LLM inference, reducing memory bandwidth bottlenecks and improving performance. Kunle reviews how this system also enables efficient multi-model serving and agentic workflows through its large, tiered memory and fast model-switching capabilities. Finally, we discuss his research into future dynamic reconfigurable architectures, and the use of AI agents to build compilers for new hardware.

The Greatest of All The greatest of all is the one that hung on the cross. Christ could have done anything he wanted. John said he could have called 12 legions of angels. He loved you and me. Luke 15:11 A certain man had two sons. The younger son asked for his inheritance. The father divided his living between them. The younger son gathered his goods and journeyed to a far country. He wasted his substance with riotous living. He spent all he had. A mighty famine arose in the land. He began to be in want. He joined himself to a citizen of that country. He sent him into the fields to feed swine. He would have filled his belly with the husks that the swine ate. No man gave to him. He came to himself and said: How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare. I perish with hunger. I will arise and go to my father. I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee. I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired servants. He arose and came to his father. When he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion. It wasn't judgment or condemnation. He ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. The son said, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight and am no more worthy to be called thy son. The father said to his servants: Bring forth the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet. Bring hither the fatted calf, kill it, and let us eat and be merry. For this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. They began to be merry. Be Reconciled to God Need to get right with God. Inference that you ain't right. People don't like to hear that. Fellowship with God was broken in the Garden of Eden. The only thing that reconciled man back to God was the blood of Jesus Christ. Christ died for my sin. God made a way for me to be right. The day I got born again, the Holy Ghost of God imputed the righteousness of Christ to me. I stand here today right with God. The blood of Jesus Christ has taken my sin dead. My sins have been cast into a sea of forgetfulness. Believe in the name of Jesus Christ, the one who died for your sins and rose again. In believing Him, you can be saved today. You can be made right with God. The young man woke up one day and decided he didn't need his father. He didn't need his brothers. He didn't need father's house. He didn't need the father's help. He made up his mind to require his inheritance. He was tired of his father's rules and ways. The father has rules. He won't let me drink, do dope, listen to bad music, or watch pornography. He loves me too much. He knows what a detriment it is to my life. He knows that when I go down that road, there ain't nothing but pain and suffering and hard things to be born. There's more do's in that book than there are don'ts. If you'll focus on the do's, you won't have time for the don'ts. This young man was the child of the Father, so I'm not questioning his birthright. Even when he was out there strung out on dope or alcohol or women, whatever else it was that was his particular vice that caused him to waste everything. The devil took everything he had. There he was without anything when the famine hit. To be right with God: Be in a place where I'm doing what God has called me to do. If you ain't doing what God called you to do, you're wrong. You're living wrong. You're not right with God. You won't be right with God until you line up and do what God has told you to do. Quit comparing ourselves to an earthly standard and get right with the Holy God today. That will make a difference in you. You want to see your life changed? You want to see your life transformed?

Everyone's talking about the AI datacenter boom right now. Billion dollar deals here, hundred billion dollar deals there. Well, why do data centers matter? It turns out, AI inference (actually calling the AI and running it) is the hidden bottleneck slowing down every AI application you use (and new stuff yet to be released). In this episode, Kwasi Ankomah from SambaNova Systems explains why running AI models efficiently matters more than you think, how their revolutionary chip architecture delivers 700+ tokens per second, and why AI agents are about to make this problem 10x worse.

Is chronic pain really “in the body”… or in the brain's predictions about the body?Today on the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jorge Esteves, PhD, DO—an osteopath, educator, and researcher whose work reframes low back pain, sciatica, and other MSK issues through the lens of predictive processing, active inference, and interoception. Dr. Esteves explains why pain is more than a physical signal: it's shaped by mood, memory, context, and environment—and how the right mix of smart touch, simple movement, precise language, and meaning can rewrite faulty predictions and dial down threat in the nervous system.We explore what he calls “smart touch”—the affective, well-timed, well-paced contact that improves therapeutic alliance, entrains breath and rhythm, and helps the brain feel safe enough to update its story about the spine. We also unpack fresh imaging work suggesting hands-on care can influence connectivity in pain and interoceptive hubs, including the insula—right where body-signal meaning is made. You'll leave with a 5-minute daily recalibration (breath cue + one gentle movement + one self-touch drill) to keep predictions aligned with reality—especially during a flare.What You'll LearnPain ≠ damage: Why back pain often persists due to over-protective predictions and how to nudge them toward safety.Smart touch, real change: How affective touch, pacing, and breath cues shift interoceptive processing and calm threat.Therapeutic alliance matters: The first 10 minutes that build trust—and the phrases clinicians should avoid because they raise threat.Brains on hands-on care: New imaging insights on how manual therapy may modulate brain connectivity in chronic low back pain.Learn More / Contact Dr. EstevesOfficial site: Prof Jorge EstevesGoogle Scholar (Atlântica University, Portugal): Google ScholarResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jorge-Esteves-3 ResearchGate(En)active Inference paper (open-access): FrontiersEmail (from CV): osteojorge@gmail.com Pro OsteoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jorge-esteves-27371522/ Pro OsteoTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/JEsteves_osteo Pro OsteoWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

Fill out this short listener survey to help us improve the show: https://forms.gle/bbcRiPTRwKoG2tJx8 Tri Dao, Chief Scientist at Together AI and Princeton professor who created Flash Attention and Mamba, discusses how inference optimization has driven costs down 100x since ChatGPT's launch through memory optimization, sparsity advances, and hardware-software co-design. He predicts the AI hardware landscape will shift from Nvidia's current 90% dominance to a more diversified ecosystem within 2-3 years, as specialized chips emerge for distinct workload categories: low-latency agentic systems, high-throughput batch processing, and interactive chatbots. Dao shares his surprise at AI models becoming genuinely useful for expert-level work, making him 1.5x more productive at GPU kernel optimization through tools like Claude Code and O1. The conversation explores whether current transformer architectures can reach expert-level AI performance or if approaches like mixture of experts and state space models are necessary to achieve AGI at reasonable costs. Looking ahead, Dao sees another 10x cost reduction coming from continued hardware specialization, improved kernels, and architectural advances like ultra-sparse models, while emphasizing that the biggest challenge remains generating expert-level training data for domains lacking extensive internet coverage. (0:00) Intro(1:58) Nvidia's Dominance and Competitors(4:01) Challenges in Chip Design(6:26) Innovations in AI Hardware(9:21) The Role of AI in Chip Optimization(11:38) Future of AI and Hardware Abstractions(16:46) Inference Optimization Techniques(33:10) Specialization in AI Inference(35:18) Deep Work Preferences and Low Latency Workloads(38:19) Fleet Level Optimization and Batch Inference(39:34) Evolving AI Workloads and Open Source Tooling(41:15) Future of AI: Agentic Workloads and Real-Time Video Generation(44:35) Architectural Innovations and AI Expert Level(50:10) Robotics and Multi-Resolution Processing(52:26) Balancing Academia and Industry in AI Research(57:37) Quickfire With your co-hosts: @jacobeffron - Partner at Redpoint, Former PM Flatiron Health @patrickachase - Partner at Redpoint, Former ML Engineer LinkedIn @ericabrescia - Former COO Github, Founder Bitnami (acq'd by VMWare) @jordan_segall - Partner at Redpoint

Nikola Borisov, CEO and co-founder of Deep Infra, joins the show to unpack the rapid evolution of AI inference, the hardware race powering it, and how startups can actually keep up without burning out. From open source breakthroughs to the business realities of model selection, Nikola shares why speed, efficiency, and strategic focus matter more than ever. If you're building in AI, this conversation will help you see the road ahead more clearly.Key Takeaways• Open source AI models are advancing at a pace that forces founders to choose focus over chasing every release.• First mover advantage in AI is real but plays out differently than in consumer tech because models are often black boxes to end users.• Infrastructure and hardware strategy can make or break AI product delivery, especially for startups.• Efficient inference may become more important than efficient training as AI usage scales.• Optimizing for specific customer needs can create significant performance and cost advantages.Timestamped Highlights[02:12] How far AI has come — and why we're still under 10% of its future potential[04:11] The challenge of keeping pace with constant model releases[08:12] Why differentiation between models still matters for builders[14:08] The hidden costs and strategies of AI hardware infrastructure[18:05] Why inference efficiency could eclipse training efficiency[21:46] Lessons from missed opportunities and unexpected shifts in model innovationQuote of the Episode“Being more efficient at inference is going to be way more important than being very efficient at training.” — Nikola BorisovResources MentionedDeepInfra — https://deepinfra.comNikola Borisov on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikolabCall to ActionIf you enjoyed this conversation, share it with someone building in AI and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

In this episode, we're joined by Lin Qiao, CEO and co-founder of Fireworks AI. Drawing on key lessons from her time building PyTorch, Lin shares her perspective on the modern generative AI development lifecycle. She explains why aligning training and inference systems is essential for creating a seamless, fast-moving production pipeline, preventing the friction that often stalls deployment. We explore the strategic shift from treating models as commodities to viewing them as core product assets. Lin details how post-training methods, like reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT), allow teams to leverage their own proprietary data to continuously improve these assets. Lin also breaks down the complex challenge of what she calls "3D optimization"—balancing cost, latency, and quality—and emphasizes the role of clear evaluation criteria to guide this process, moving beyond unreliable methods like "vibe checking." Finally, we discuss the path toward the future of AI development: designing a closed-loop system for automated model improvement, a vision made more attainable by the exciting convergence of open and closed-source model capabilities.

While AI training garners most of the spotlight — and investment — the demands ofAI inferenceare shaping up to be an even bigger challenge. In this episode ofThe New Stack Makers, Sid Sheth, founder and CEO of d-Matrix, argues that inference is anything but one-size-fits-all. Different use cases — from low-cost to high-interactivity or throughput-optimized — require tailored hardware, and existing GPU architectures aren't built to address all these needs simultaneously.“The world of inference is going to be truly heterogeneous,” Sheth said, meaning specialized hardware will be required to meet diverse performance profiles. A major bottleneck? The distance between memory and compute. Inference, especially in generative AI and agentic workflows, requires constant memory access, so minimizing the distance data must travel is key to improving performance and reducing cost.To address this, d-Matrix developed Corsair, a modular platform where memory and compute are vertically stacked — “like pancakes” — enabling faster, more efficient inference. The result is scalable, flexible AI infrastructure purpose-built for inference at scale.Learn more from The New Stack about inference compute and AIScaling AI Inference at the Edge with Distributed PostgreSQLDeep Infra Is Building an AI Inference Cloud for DevelopersJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game  

Live from the 2025 Nonference, Mike and Tim (In the same room) are joined in studio by Journey Church Pastors Suzie P. Lind and Sam Barnhart. What does it mean to truly deconstruct faith, and how can that journey lead to healing? In this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation, the hosts tackle the complexities of "deconstruction," exploring disillusionment, doubt, discipleship, and ultimately, the pursuit of Jesus amidst cultural challenges. From addressing church hurt and systemic issues to reexamining theologies and navigating the intersection of faith and politics, this episode unpacks the role of the church in society and the personal journeys that shape our understanding of Christianity. Through themes of justice, cruciformity, and reimagining what it means to follow Jesus, the discussion dives deep into how cultural realities and historical practices influence our faith. The panel shares stories of heartbreak and hope, challenging the idea that questioning or rethinking faith is a departure from Jesus—instead, it's often a move toward deeper authenticity. Whether you're wrestling with theological questions, processing church trauma, or striving to navigate cultural issues as a follower of Jesus, this episode offers a space for reflection and community. Feel free to share your thoughts, send in your questions, or engage with us on Facebook and Instagram. Let's continue pursuing a faith marked by humility, curiosity, and justice together.

If you've been experimenting with image, video, and audio models, the chances are you've been both blown away by how good they're becoming, and also a little perturbed by how long they can take to generate. If you've been using a platform like Fal, however, your experience on the latter point might be more positive.In this episode, Fal cofounder and CEO Burkay Gur and head of engineering Batuhan Taskaya join a16z general partner Jennifer Li to discuss how they built an inference platform — or, as they call it, a generative media cloud — that's optimized for speed, performance, and user experience. These are core features for a great product, yes, and also ones borne of necessity as the early team obsessively engineered around its meager GPU capacity at the height of the AI infrastructure crunch.But this is more than a story about infrastructure. As you'll hear, they also delve into sales and hiring strategy; the team's overall excitement over these emerging modalities; and the trends they're seeing as competition in the world of video models, especially, heats up.  Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

Modal is a serverless compute platform that's specifically focused on AI workloads. The company's goal is to enable AI teams to quickly spin up GPU-enabled containers, and rapidly iterate and autoscale. It was founded by Erik Bernhardsson who was previously at Spotify for 7 years where he built the music recommendation system and the popular The post Modal and Scaling AI Inference with Erik Bernhardsson appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Many students graduate high school today without having read a book cover to cover. Many students struggle to learn to read at all. How did this happen? Listen as educator and author Doug Lemov talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about the failed fads in reading education, the mistaken emphasis on vocabulary as a skill, and the importance of background knowledge for thinking and reading comprehension. Lemov and Roberts also discuss their love of difficult-to-read authors, the power of reading in groups, the value of keeping a reading journal, and how even basketball can be more enjoyable when we have the right terminology.

The era of making AI smarter just by making it bigger is ending. But that doesn't mean progress is slowing down — far from it. AI models continue to get much more powerful, just using very different methods, and those underlying technical changes force a big rethink of what coming years will look like.Toby Ord — Oxford philosopher and bestselling author of The Precipice — has been tracking these shifts and mapping out the implications both for governments and our lives.Links to learn more, video, highlights, and full transcript: https://80k.info/to25As he explains, until recently anyone can access the best AI in the world “for less than the price of a can of Coke.” But unfortunately, that's over.What changed? AI companies first made models smarter by throwing a million times as much computing power at them during training, to make them better at predicting the next word. But with high quality data drying up, that approach petered out in 2024.So they pivoted to something radically different: instead of training smarter models, they're giving existing models dramatically more time to think — leading to the rise in “reasoning models” that are at the frontier today.The results are impressive but this extra computing time comes at a cost: OpenAI's o3 reasoning model achieved stunning results on a famous AI test by writing an Encyclopedia Britannica's worth of reasoning to solve individual problems at a cost of over $1,000 per question.This isn't just technical trivia: if this improvement method sticks, it will change much about how the AI revolution plays out, starting with the fact that we can expect the rich and powerful to get access to the best AI models well before the rest of us.Toby and host Rob discuss the implications of all that, plus the return of reinforcement learning (and resulting increase in deception), and Toby's commitment to clarifying the misleading graphs coming out of AI companies — to separate the snake oil and fads from the reality of what's likely a "transformative moment in human history."Recorded on May 23, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Toby Ord is back — for a 4th time!

Alex Edmans, a professor of finance at London Business School, tells us how to avoid the Ladder of Misinference by examining how narratives, statistics, and articles can mislead, especially when they align with our preconceived notions and confirm what we believe is true, assume is true, and wish were true.Alex Edmans May Contain LiesWhat to Test in a Post Trust WorldHow Minds ChangeDavid McRaney's TwitterDavid McRaney's BlueSkyYANSS TwitterYANSS FacebookNewsletterKittedPatreon

Agentic AI is equally as daunting as it is dynamic. So…… how do you not screw it up? After all, the more robust and complex agentic AI becomes, the more room there is for error. Luckily, we've got Dr. Maryam Ashoori to guide our agentic ways. Maryam is the Senior Director of Product Management of watsonx at IBM. She joined us at IBM Think 2025 to break down agentic AI done right. Newsletter: Sign up for our free daily newsletterMore on this Episode: Episode PageJoin the discussion: Have a question?
