AI-Podden News - September
In this September AI news roundup, our host Ather Gattami sits down with Anders Arpteg to unpack the biggest developments across frontier models, autonomous systems, AI efficiency and the ongoing debate around AGI. The conversation covers OpenAI's Astra model and its Navier-Stokes breakthrough, the industry-wide shift toward smaller and more cost-efficient models, and why impressive benchmark gains still do not necessarily mean we are close to artificial general intelligence. They also discuss the growing importance of workflow automation and agentic products, recent advances in autonomous driving and physical AI, and why future progress may depend less on brute-force compute and more on new algorithms, architectures and better ways of measuring intelligence.

AI-Podden News - March
In this March news episode, our host Ather Gattami sits with Anders Arpteg to unpack a fast-moving period in AI, from NVIDIA GTC and the rise of agentic, always-on systems to the growing demand for inference, physical AI and autonomous driving. They argue that while the industry is moving quickly and companies are racing to build more proactive, capable systems, current models are still far weaker at reasoning and action-taking than the hype often suggests, something they link to the poor results on Arc AGI 3. The conversation also touches on shifting power dynamics between companies like Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta, before ending on a more forward-looking note with Semantic Tube Prediction, a research idea that could offer a more efficient path to reasoning in latent space rather than through token-by-token prediction.
