A deep dive into the [un]prompted AI security conference, the new Zero Day Clock initiative for vulnerability management, the emergent risks of autonomous AI agents, and the pervasive issue of burnout in the cybersecurity field.
A panel of distinguished architects—Rebecca Parsons, Gregor Hohpe, Barry O'Reilly, and Andrew Harmel-Law—discuss the multifaceted world of software architecture. They explore the inevitability of organizational dysfunction, the critical role of architects in decision-making, and the impact of non-deterministic technologies like Generative AI and quantum computing on system design and organizational change.
Onshore founder Dominic Vitucci discusses how AI is causing a tectonic shift in the accounting industry, moving from a model based on billable hours to one of technology-driven outcomes, and what this means for the future of the profession and the legacy firms that dominate it.
In a YC Founder Fireside chat, AssemblyAI founder Dylan Fox discusses his journey from a solo founder in 2017 to leading a major voice AI infrastructure platform. He covers the early challenges, the technological shifts that fueled growth, the development of intelligent, promptable voice models, and the lessons learned in scaling a deep-tech company.
Sudip Roy, Co-founder & CTO of Adaption Labs, discusses how "Adaptation" using gradient-free, inference-time techniques can solve the last 5% reliability gap that stalls enterprise AI adoption, offering a more dynamic and cost-effective alternative to traditional fine-tuning or simply waiting for the next frontier model.
Poetiq, a startup by former DeepMind researchers, has developed a recursive self-improvement meta-system that builds "reasoning harnesses" on top of existing LLMs. This approach avoids the costly "fine-tuning trap" and has achieved state-of-the-art results on benchmarks like ARC-AGI and Humanity's Last Exam by automatically optimizing prompts and discovering novel reasoning strategies.
