AI Papers: A Deep Dive

by paperdive.ai

Long-form deep dives into new research on Artificial Intelligence, AI agents and the engineering practice of building them - one paper per episode. We unpack the motivating problem, how the method actually works, the math that matters, what the experiments do and don't show, and the strongest critique against the result. The goal isn't a five-minute summary; it's the kind of conversation you'd have with a colleague who actually read the paper.Topics span large language models, autonomous agents, agentic coding, reinforcement learning for agent training, evaluation and benchmarks, alignment, and the practical engineering decisions that make agentic systems actually work in production. Most papers are pulled from arXiv, often within days of release.Hosted by AI voices generated with ElevenLabs. Episode scripts are produced by a multi-stage Claude pipeline working from a close reading of the source paper. New episodes daily.
