Shownotes
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.

In this week's update, host Ather Gattami is joined by regular guest Anders Arpteg, Head of AI and Data at GlobalConnect, to unpack the summer's biggest AI developments. They review the release of GPT-5, which introduced cheaper APIs, longer context windows, and fewer hallucinations but ultimately fell short of lofty expectations, particularly when compared with Claude and Gemini. The discussion explores possible reasons, including talent losses, outdated training data, and speculation of withheld advances, while also spotlighting AI's Olympiad successes, DeepMind's pursuit of hard mathematical problems, and video models like Veo 3 that demonstrate an emerging grasp of physical laws. They conclude that although omni-models may appear, specialized systems are more likely to dominate, creating significant opportunities for startups and enterprises despite the concentration of power in a few frontier labs.
