Can China Do to Robotaxis What It Did to Solar?
Ben Lorica talks with Evangelos Simoudis about three forces reshaping AI: why recent “rogue agent” incidents may be more about permissions, identity, and governance than runaway intelligence; how the belief that AGI is near is helping sustain enormous investment in AI models and data centers despite unanswered questions about margins and ROI; and whether Chinese robotaxi companies can challenge Waymo globally by following a playbook similar to China’s rise in solar and batteries.

Why Video Is AI's Next Great Frontier
Yoon Kim, President and Chief Strategy Officer of TwelveLabs, explains why understanding video takes more than bolting a language model onto a stream of frames. He walks through how TwelveLabs’ two foundation models, Marengo and Pegasus, embed and describe video content at scale, and how the company’s new agent, Jockey, orchestrates them for tasks like security investigations, sports film review, and documentary editing.Subscribe to the Gradient Flow Newsletter 📩 https://gradientflow.substack.com/Subscribe: Apple · Spotify · Overcast · Pocket Casts · AntennaPod · Podcast Addict · Amazon · RSS.Detailed show notes and transcript, can be found on The Data Exchange web site.

AI Is Producing More Code, but Is It Producing More Value?
Ben Lorica sits down with Evangelos Simoudis to unpack why open-weights models are closing the gap with frontier labs and pushing enterprises toward “corporate AI sovereignty.” They then apply an attenuation-funnel lens to AI coding tools — more code, but far less shipped software and usage growth — before turning to “neoconsulting,” the outcomes-based services model reshaping Accenture, Palantir, and the big Indian IT firms.Subscribe to the Gradient Flow Newsletter 📩 https://gradientflow.substack.com/Subscribe: Apple · Spotify · Overcast · Pocket Casts · AntennaPod · Podcast Addict · Amazon · RSS.Detailed show notes and transcript, can be found on The Data Exchange web site.

Stop Renting Generic Intelligence for Your Business
Manos Koukoumidis, CEO of Oumi, returns to the podcast to make the case that most enterprises are wildly inefficient, using bloated generic AI models for tasks that demand specialized ones. He argues that companies should stop renting intelligence from frontier labs and start owning, customizing, and compounding it.Subscribe to the Gradient Flow Newsletter 📩 https://gradientflow.substack.com/Subscribe: Apple · Spotify · Overcast · Pocket Casts · AntennaPod · Podcast Addict · Amazon · RSS.Detailed show notes and transcript, can be found on The Data Exchange web site.

AI Agents Are Implemented, Not Adopted
Ben Lorica speaks with Hamza Tahir, co-founder of Kitaru, about what it takes to move AI agents from demos to production. They discuss the difference between workflows and agents, why “harness engineering” is becoming a useful frame for application builders, and why long-running agent workloads require orchestration, durable execution, retries, state management, and human-in-the-loop semantics.Subscribe to the Gradient Flow Newsletter 📩 https://gradientflow.substack.com/Subscribe: Apple · Spotify · Overcast · Pocket Casts · AntennaPod · Podcast Addict · Amazon · RSS.Detailed show notes and transcript, can be found on The Data Exchange web site.
