Re-engineering the Semiconductor Supply Chain with Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan

Re-engineering the Semiconductor Supply Chain with Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan

Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan shares his strategic vision for turning around the tech giant, focusing on cultural transformation, strengthening the balance sheet with key investments (including the US government and Nvidia), and driving innovation in foundry, advanced packaging, and new materials. He discusses collaborations like Terafab with Elon Musk, the profound impact of AI on the semiconductor supply chain, and his investment philosophy for the evolving industry, aiming to position Intel for agentic and physical AI at the edge and client, not just centralized compute.

Accelerating AI on Edge — Chintan Parikh and Weiyi Wang, Google DeepMind

A deep dive into Google's AI Edge stack for on-device AI, covering the new Gemma 4 models, the LiteRT framework for cross-platform deployment, and practical use cases in agent skills, tool calling, and hardware acceleration on CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs.

TLMs: Tiny LLMs and Agents on Edge Devices with LiteRT-LM — Cormac Brick, Google

TLMs: Tiny LLMs and Agents on Edge Devices with LiteRT-LM — Cormac Brick, Google

Cormac Brick from Google's AI Edge team details the dual trends of on-device AI: large, system-level models like Gemma 4 enabling complex agent skills, and fine-tuned tiny LLMs for high-performance, in-app tasks. The summary covers the architecture of on-device function calling, the engineering trade-offs for edge deployment, and the practical workflow for fine-tuning and deploying models under 1B parameters on platforms like Android and iOS.

Inside Perplexity Computer’s agent platform

Inside Perplexity Computer’s agent platform

Experts on the Mixture of Experts podcast analyze Perplexity Computer's pivot to agent orchestration and debate its closed-system approach versus open alternatives like OpenClaw. They also discuss Anthropic's new memory import feature for Claude, questioning if memory is still a competitive moat, and explore NullClaw, a minimalist agent framework that sparks a conversation about the future of edge-based agent swarms. Finally, they tackle the controversial debut of Tilly Norwood, the world's first AI actor, and debate the implications for the entertainment industry and the personification of AI.

Claude Cowork analysis & Apple picks Gemini

The panel discusses Anthropic's Claude Cowork and the challenge of user trust in AI agents for everyday tasks. They then analyze the Apple-Google partnership to integrate Gemini into Siri, debating its implications for edge AI, privacy, and hardware limitations. Finally, they explore Linus Torvalds' use of AI for "vibe coding," considering its impact on hobbyist programming and entrepreneurship versus the current limitations in producing production-ready software.

Why language models hallucinate, revisiting Amodei’s code prediction and AI in the job market

Why language models hallucinate, revisiting Amodei’s code prediction and AI in the job market

Experts discuss an OpenAI paper that reframes hallucinations as a feature driven by training incentives, not just a bug. The panel also revisits Dario Amodei's prediction on AI coding, explores AI's chaotic impact on the job market, and imagines the future of running LLMs on business-card-sized devices.
