Podcasts about models

BrainChip CEO Sean Hehir joins me to unpack where artificial intelligence is actually headed—and why the dominant “everything in the data center” narrative is incomplete.Most AI conversations fixate on massive models, GPU farms, and trillion-dollar infrastructure bets. This episode shifts the frame. Sean and I explore the structural reality that power consumption, latency, and grid constraints are forcing AI to decentralize—and what that means for founders, engineers, and the broader economy.Sean explains how neuromorphic computing and ultra-low-power silicon enable AI inference outside the data center—inside wearables, medical devices, drones, manufacturing systems, and even space applications. We examine why CPUs and GPUs aren't optimized for edge workloads, how custom silicon changes the economics, and why power efficiency isn't a side issue—it's the bottleneck that determines what scales.The conversation expands into workforce displacement, labor fluidity, productivity cycles, and whether technological acceleration inevitably creates unemployment crises—or simply reshuffles value creation again, as history repeatedly shows.This isn't a speculative futurism episode. It's a grounded look at model trends, infrastructure limits, and how companies survive inside a market moving at month-scale rather than decade-scale.The lesson isn't that AI replaces everything.It's that architecture determines outcomes.TL;DR* AI is centralizing in data centers—but it's also rapidly decentralizing to the edge* Power constraints will shape the next phase of AI more than hype cycles* Neuromorphic and event-driven silicon drastically reduce energy per compute* Edge AI enables medical wearables, safety detection, space systems, and industrial automation* Models are getting larger—but optimization techniques will shrink them into smaller form factors* Productivity gains historically displace tasks—not human adaptability* The future isn't about bigger servers—it's about smarter distribution* Lowest power per compute is a strategic advantage, not a marketing lineMemorable Lines* “Don't bet against humanity. We're very creative.”* “The future of AI isn't just in data centers.”* “Power isn't a feature—it's the constraint.”* “If you're the lowest power solution, you will always have customers.”* “Architecture decides what becomes possible.”GuestSean Hehir — CEO of BrainChipTechnology executive leading the commercialization of neuromorphic AI processors focused on ultra-low-power edge inference. Oversees BrainChip's evolution from early engineering innovation to market-driven, customer-focused deployment.

This Drive Thru News episode tears through a disappointing slate of Super Bowl car commercials before shifting into a broader roundup of automotive chaos - from Stellantis' $26B EV implosion and Tesla axing the Model S and X, to StopTech and Raybestos abruptly shutting down and Honda's new Prelude landing with a thud. The hosts riff on design misfires, EV fatigue, and shifting EPA rules while weaving in motorsports talk, including the dull Rolex 24, Bathurst's massive crash, and WRC scouting U.S. rally sites. They wrap with GTM project updates, track‑season safety reminders, and a grab‑bag of Florida‑man absurdity and parking‑lot disasters, all delivered with their usual humor and gearhead banter. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00:00 Drive-Through News #65 Kickoff 00:01:27 Olympics Banter: Speed Skating, Biathlon & Curling Controversy 00:02:47 Super Bowl Ads: Were There Any Car Commercials? 00:11:57 Best Super Bowl Car Ads of the Last 20 Years (Top 5 Countdown) 00:14:36 Stellantis' $26B EV Struggle: Charger EV, 4xe Hybrids & What Went Wrong 00:18:01 EPA Rule Swings: Stop-Start, Emissions, and the Return of Big Engines? 00:20:04 Aftermarket Shock: StopTech Stops Making Brakes (and what's next) 00:22:35 Cars on the Chopping Block: Honda Prelude Hate & Tesla S/X Discontinued 00:24:50 The Grand Tour ‘Returns': Throttle House Rumors & Why You Can't Replace the Trio 00:30:19 Legends Lost: Ed Iskenderian Tribute & Robert Duvall Remembered 00:32:35 Porsche ‘Not Dead Yet': EV Cayman/Boxster and the Toyota MR2 Clickbait 00:38:11 Thank God It's Dead: Audi's ‘Pickup Truck' Concept 00:40:50 Audi's ‘Concept C' Design Language: The Ugly EV That Won't Die 00:42:05 BMW's Electric M3 Rumors + The Infamous ‘Special Screw' Repair Nightmare 00:44:47 Season Wrap & Pop Culture Detour! 00:51:04 Ferrari's First EV ‘Luce': Toy-Like Interior, Not-Quite-Ferrari Looks 00:54:52 Are You Faster Than an Interceptor? 01:01:49 Behind the Pit Wall: IndyCar in DC, Daytona 500, and a Boring Rolex 24 01:05:54 Sim Racing Update (Assetto Corsa Evo 0.5) 01:12:00 Bathurst Crash, WRC America Rumors, and the GTM Trackside Lemons Project Update 01:14:52 Safety Gear PSA & Season Finale Thanks, Patreon, and Sponsor Shoutouts ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram

Welcome to another episode of SOURCE CODE.At Finovate, a leading Fintech conference “where you see the future of fintech first”, startups demo their solutions in seven minutes. This series is everything else - the human story behind the innovation. In every great story, there's a hero on a quest and a guide who's walked the path before. In b2b fintech, the customer is the hero. Today's founder? They're the guide.We're going back to the origin - before the demo, before the product - to understand the journey that led here. This story is about Alex Frankl, founder of Fintrac, a model platform for financial services. The interview was recorded at Finovate Europe 2026.Alex embodies The Defender archetype - standing guard over what's most vulnerable in regulated finance: governance, auditability, and compliance. While others optimize for speed and flexibility, he remains resolute in defending the principles that protect financial institutions from risk. Like all great defenders, he's driven not by glory but by a deep commitment to ensuring nothing sacred is lost in the pursuit of innovation.LinksFintrac Finovate demo: Subscribe to the newsletter:Source Code is a series from the Investology podcast, produced by Orama:https://orama.tv/ This is a public episode.

Today's guest is Sandeep Chinchali, Chief Scientist at Poseidon, a company building the data layer AI actually needs to improve.While most of the industry obsesses over bigger models and more compute, Poseidon is tackling the real bottleneck: access to rare, high-quality, IP-safe data that can't be scraped, copied, or faked.With billions being poured into data centres and revenue growth starting to slow across parts of the AI ecosystem, are we heading for an industry shake-out?In this episode, we unpack:• Why more leaders believe the future of AI won't live solely in hyperscale data centres• Whether the cloud-only AI model is starting to fracture• What “edge AI” actually means for real businesses• Why data quality and trust now matter more than raw volume• Why scraped internet data is no longer enough• What executives should truly be paying attention to over the next 3–5 years• What will separate AI winners from the hypeThis is a must-listen for founders, investors, operators, and anyone trying to understand where AI is really heading next.

Models verdienen automatisch viel Geld.Luxusreisen, Kampagnen, Runway Shows – und das Konto ist voll… oder?In dieser Folge breche ich mit einem der größten Mythen im Modelbusiness und spreche über unregelmäßiges Einkommen, Durststrecken und hohe Fixkosten, über die niemand spricht.Wie viel verdienen Models wirklich – und warum sieht die finanzielle Realität oft ganz anders aus als erwartet?Wenn du wissen willst, was hinter dem Glamour steckt, solltest du diese Folge nicht verpassen.

Is bigger always better? While Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 dominate the headlines, a silent revolution is happening on our devices. In this episode, we explore the rise of Small Language Models (SLMs) and why they are becoming the "Specialists" of the AI world.We dive into the security risks of centralized cloud infrastructure, the demand for offline AI in corporate environments, and how gadgets like Apple AirPods and Meta Glasses are bringing real-time intelligence to our palms—without the privacy baggage. If you're a security architect or an AI enthusiast, this session is a roadmap for understanding why "no internet" might just be the best security feature for the next generation of intelligence.

Today's clip is from Episode 151 of the podcast, with Jonas ArrudaIn this conversation, Jonas Arruda explains how diffusion models generate data by learning to reverse a noise process. The idea is to start from a simple distribution like Gaussian noise and gradually remove noise until the target distribution emerges. This is done through a forward process that adds noise to clean parameters and a backward process that learns how to undo that corruption. A noise schedule controls how much noise is added or removed at each step, guiding the transformation from pure randomness back to meaningful structure.Get the full discussion here• Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.patreon.com/c/learnbayesstats• Intro to Bayes Course (first 2 lessons free): https://topmate.io/alex_andorra/503302• Advanced Regression Course (first 2 lessons free): https://topmate.io/alex_andorra/1011122Our theme music is « Good Bayesian », by Baba Brinkman (feat MC Lars and Mega Ran).

Deepfake voice technology is rapidly advancing, but how well do current detection systems handle differences in language and writing style? Most existing work focuses on robustness to acoustic variations such as background noise or compression, while largely overlooking how linguistic variation shapes both deepfake generation and detection. Yet language matters: psycholinguistic features such as sentence structure, complexity, and word choice influence how models synthesize speech, which in turn affects how detectors score and flag audio. In this talk,  we will ask questions such as: "If we change the way a person writes, while keeping their voice the same, will a deepfake detector still reach the same decision?" and "Are some text-to-speech and voice cloning models more vulnerable to shifts in writing style than others?" We will then discuss implications for designing robust deepfake voice detectors and for advancing more trustworthy speech AI in an era of increasingly synthetic media.

RO KHANNA'S EPSTEIN FACE-PLANT: Innocent Men Smeared to Protect the Real Predators? The Epstein saga just took its most bizarre and dangerous turn yet. This week, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) marched onto the House floor claiming to "unmask" the wealthy elites being shielded by the DOJ. There's just one problem: it appears they accidentally nuked the reputations of random private citizens who were just part of a photo lineup. Austin Petersen breaks down the spectacular legal malpractice in D.C., the redefinition of "adulthood" by professional survivors, and why the "Epstein Files" are being used as a political prop while the real co-conspirators remain in the shadows.

How can patients receive more consistent interventional radiology care amid a national shortage of IR physicians? That question led Dr. Rick Daniels to develop a new outpatient practice model centered on recruiting independent IRs to provide long-term, fractional coverage for groups in need. In this episode of the BackTable Podcast hosted by Dr. Aaron Fritts, Dr. Daniels outlines the thinking behind this approach and how it aims to expand access to IR services in outpatient settings. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation examines the evolving landscape of IR practice, including the challenges associated with transitioning between practice settings and building sustainable outpatient service lines. Dr. Daniels walks through the development of his model, with particular attention to identifying and supporting outpatient embolization opportunities. The discussion also explores the consortium-style structure for independent IRs, emphasizing long-term alignment, professional autonomy, and scalability at a national level. Operational considerations such as technology partnerships, documentation workflows, and targeted marketing strategies offer a practical look at what it takes to make this model work. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction03:49 - Evolution of an Independent IR Practice05:30 - Challenges and Opportunities in Outpatient IR09:58 - Building Service Lines and Marketing Strategies18:34 - Forming a National IR Group25:21 - Balancing Business and Healthcare25:37 - Evaluating and Correcting Site Performance28:16 - Expanding Geographical Reach30:45 - Recruitment and Retention Challenges38:07 - The Importance of Tech-Doc Teams42:35 - Future Goals and Recruitment Efforts45:58 - Conclusion
