New models launch everyday, API costs are staggering and subscription costs are at an all time high. In the midst of all that, there is a fundamental problem: you have no way to tell what model worked for you. In this episode, Travis breaks down the core problems with un-verifiable inference and centralised AI systems.~~~Hosted by Travis Good, CEO & Co-Founder of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ambient⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: an SVM-compatible PoW L1 that will serve as a cornerstone of the agentic economy.
