AI is transitioning from just answering questions to doing valuable work. The next challenge is making agents more accessible and simple enough that the technical details fade into the background.In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with two members of OpenAI's ChatGPT Work team, Tara Seshan and Ty Geri, to dig into ChatGPT Work and what OpenAI is doing to make advanced agent capabilities useful to a lot more people. We also dig into some of the current challenges and how the team is approaching them. Seshan and Geri explain how scheduled tasks and proactive assistance are changing the way people start their workdays, why AI lets teams move from debating ideas to testing prototypes, and how personalized software can turn one-off needs into purpose-built tools. They also discuss the challenge of token costs and model selection, why "super app" isn't the most useful framing for ChatGPT and Codex, and what it will take for agents to become more persistent, proactive, and connected.The conversation also covers:• How OpenAI is trying to bridge local and cloud workflows• Why Tara and Ty start their days with agents instead of Slack• Building personal apps and tools without traditional software overhead• The tradeoff between model capability, cost, and user control• More persistent agents and proactive personal assistance• Connecting agents to email, calendars, enterprise systems and third-party tools• Privacy, security and administrative controls for agentic workIf you’re figuring out where agents fit into your work or what has to improve before you trust them with more of it, then this conversation offers a practical look at how OpenAI is preparing for that transition.Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transitor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

AI's appetite for compute keeps growing, but so does the pressure to deliver more intelligence per watt and per dollar. Can AMD's first rack-scale AI system open up an ecosystem dominated by Nvidia?In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Andrew Dieckmann, AMD's general manager of its data center GPU business, to unpack the company's Helios platform and the rapidly changing economics of AI infrastructure. Dieckmann explains why frontier AI requires more than just GPUs. It demands tightly engineered racks that combine GPUs, CPUs, networking, software, cooling and serviceability. The conversation examines the tension around AI data centers: hyperscalers still cannot get enough compute, while communities worry about power, water and whether the benefits justify the buildout. Andrew argues that responsible deployment and open ecosystems are essential as these systems become intelligence factories.The conversation then turns to Helios: AMD's performance claims against Nvidia Vera Rubin, pricing and value, the first likely customers, and the Cerebras partnership for high-throughput, low-latency inference. Andrew closes with his advice for leaders navigating AI velocity: reassess priorities more often and use coding agents as force multipliers for scarce engineering talent.Topics covered:• Why AMD is moving from chips to full rack-scale systems• AI demand, data center constraints, and community impact• Open hardware, open software and customer choice• How agentic AI changed infrastructure planning• Helios performance, efficiency, pricing and customers• AMD Helios versus Nvidia Vera Rubin• How AMD and Cerebras split inference workloadsThis conversation offers a clear look at the technology and economics shaping the infrastructure that will power everyday AI and the breakthroughs to come.Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transitor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

AI bubble talk is rearing its head again, but the context is very different from the conversations in late 2025. In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we unpack the common arguments about an AI bubble and explain why reality naturally falls somewhere in between the doomsayers and AI absolutists. We look at AI's "Tinker Bell problem": the boom depends partly on people continuing to believe in AI's potential, even as public skepticism grows. Beneath that belief cushion, enterprise contracts drive most of AI labs' revenue, while strong hyperscaler earnings and compute shortages suggest durable demand is building. We debunk a viral claim that a $200 Claude subscription costs Anthropic $8,000 to serve. We also look at enterprises' push for more control, efficiency and measurable ROI, including one company's claim that some engineers' token use costs 1.5 times their compensation. Other topics include:• Training, inference, API pricing and token economics• Real value, snake oil and the hype cycle• Why AI demand outruns compute supply• Why the AI bubble may look more like bubble wrap• Market rotation into energy and materials If you're trying to separate durable AI demand from hype and understand where a real correction could begin, then this conversation offers a framework for thinking about what may pop, what may deflate and what may keep growing. Keep in mind that this is industry analysis and not investor advice. Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transitor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

The smartphone has been built around apps and taps for nearly two decades. Google thinks AI will fundamentally change that.In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we talked with Sameer Samat, president of Android ecosystem at Google, about what the company means when it says it's transforming Android from an operating system into an intelligence system. Samat explains why the next generation of computing could shift us from micromanaging our devices to simply telling them what we want to accomplish. We dig into how AI agents could navigate apps and complete multistep tasks and why those agents need to follow us across phones, computers, cars, watches and glasses. And what happens to the app-centric model that has defined smartphones for the past 15 years?We also get into some of the practical ways this is already taking shape. Samat discusses Google’s app automations and Rambler, the new Google Keyboard experience that can turn your voice brain-dumps into polished text. He also explains how Google is thinking about permissions, sandboxing and human oversight as AI agents gain the ability to take action on our behalf.The conversation goes well beyond the phone. We talk about why smart glasses and cars could be especially powerful interfaces for AI agents, what Google learned from the original Google Glass, and why the best AI features may be the ones consumers barely think of as AI.Other topics covered include:• How AI is already changing work inside Google• Why product managers can now build functional prototypes themselves• Samat's favorite overlooked AI tool• His "calendar cleanse" strategy for getting time backIf you’re trying to understand where mobile computing goes next, what AI agents will actually look like on phones, and how Google plans to weave intelligence across devices, this conversation offers insights into what the company is building and why.Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transitor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

What comes after large language models?In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we talked with Zuzanna Stamirowska, CEO of Pathway, to explore why her team believes today’s dominant AI architecture has fundamental limits, and what it could take to move beyond them.Pathway is developing Dragon Hatchling, a new architecture designed to give AI native memory, continual learning, and a different approach to reasoning. Stamirowska explains why today’s LLMs can appear to remember without actually internalizing what they learn, why reasoning through language creates its own constraints and costs, and how Pathway is trying to build models that can think in a more abstract way. The conversation looks at how those architectural changes could affect hallucinations, interpretability, safety, and the enormous compute demands of modern AI. Stamirowska shares how her background in complex systems and game theory shaped Pathway’s approach, why the company made an early bet on challenging the transformer, and how the AI coding revolution has already radically changed the way her own team works.Topics covered:• Why transformers struggle with memory and continual learning• How Pathway’s Dragon Hatchling architecture works• How a different architecture could reduce compute costs• How interpretability could make advanced AI more predictable• Why Pathway’s engineers have largely stopped writing code themselves• How Stamirowska uses Codex, Claude Code, and other AI tools• Why leaders should be ruthless about identifying the critical pathIf you’re interested in what could come after today’s LLMs, and whether the next big leap in AI will require more than simply scaling transformers, this conversation offers a fascinating look at one of the teams betting on a fundamentally different path.Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transitor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sat down with Caroline Ingeborn, COO of Luma, an AI lab dedicated to omnimodal intelligence, to discuss where generalized physical AI could take us. Rather than focusing only on video models, Luma takes an omnimodal, or multimodal, approach, creating models that understand text, video, images and audio. This, said Ingeborn, is because humans don't think in one modality. These kinds of models have many potential use cases and could even help researchers achieve general intelligence. Luma's primary audience right now is the creative industries, such as entertainment, advertising and marketing. Ingeborn said she sees the technology as enhancing the creative experience rather than replacing creative professionals. Topics covered include:Where AI fits into creative workflowsThe ethical lines of AI in creativity Luma's mission towards generalized physical intelligencePhysical AI's potential impact on the labor marketThe different approaches to building world modelsThe dangers of centralized power in physical AGIIf you're following the progress of world models, physical AI and robotics, and the use of AI in creative fields, then this episode offers a deeper look at how these technologies are being used today and the transformative impact they could have in the future. Subscribe to Deep View Conversations for interviews with the leaders shaping the future of AI, business, and technology: tdv.transitor.fm And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Alex Rinke, co-founder and co-CEO of Celonis, to unpack one of the most overlooked truths in enterprise AI.Rinke and his co-founders started Celonis 15 years ago in Munich with just $15,000. What followed was a grind, including thousands of handwritten letters to land early customers, and a steady evolution from process simulation to what is now known as process intelligence.Today, Celonis works with roughly half of the world’s 200 largest companies. Its platform acts like an MRI for the enterprise, creating a digital twin of how work actually happens across fragmented systems.Rinke’s core argument is simple and provocative: there is no enterprise AI without process intelligence. Companies that deploy agents without understanding their underlying processes risk automating inefficiency at scale.We also cover:+ How Celonis re-engineered itself for the AI era+ What the co-CEO model works like in practice and why it can be a competitive advantage+ How hiring is changing inside AI-native companies+ The tools Rinke uses to run his own workflowIf you want to understand where AI actually delivers results inside large organizations, don't sleep on this conversation.Watch now and subscribe for more conversations at the frontier of AI.And don't forget to sign up for The Deep View daily newsletter.

AI agents in business aren't something that will happen in the future. They’re already here, and they're scaling a lot more rapidly than we expected.In this episode of The Deep View: Conversations, Editor-in-Chief Jason Hiner talks to Matt Yanchyshyn, who leads AWS Marketplace at Amazon Web Services. Yanchyshyn's team helps organizations discover, buy, and deploy software on AWS, and one of the biggest shifts they’ve seen over the past six months is the explosion of AI agents in real-world use cases.When AWS unveiled its agent marketplace in mid-2025, the internal goal was initially to launch with 50 agents. By early 2026, that number had surged past 2,600 agents, making it the fastest-growing category in the history of the world’s largest cloud platform.So what’s driving that surge? Yanchyshyn breaks it down.In this conversation, we cover:+ Which types of AI agents are seeing the fastest enterprise adoption+ The industries and use cases leading the charge+ How companies are handling data security and sovereignty concerns+ The role of multi-model orchestration in agent effectiveness+ How AWS is using agents internally to drive lots of different winsIf you're trying to understand where AI agents are actually being deployed — not the hype, but the reality — then this conversation will reset your expectations.

How do you make AI inference affordable enough to deliver real ROI in the enterprise? In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we talk with Rob May, founder and CEO of Neurometric AI, to break down one of the most urgent challenges in AI today: the soaring cost of inference, and how to bring it down without sacrificing performance. Today's AI is increasingly powerful, but it’s also expensive. For enterprises to see real returns, inference costs have to drop dramatically. Neurometric believes the answer lies in "thinking algorithms" paired with small, specialized models and workload-specific optimization. This approach can significantly reduce costs while often improving accuracy and efficiency. Rob walks through how this works in practice and why it matters as AI moves from experimentation to scaled deployment. We also talk about:+ Why the current AI boom pulled Rob back into operating a startup after multiple exits and a move into investing + How founders should think about AI infrastructure, efficiency, and long-term economics + What startup leaders can do to get journalists to pay attention — and a pivotal early-career conversation that led to coverage which changed the trajectory of one of Rob’s companies If you’re building, deploying, or investing in AI and wrestling with the economics of inference, this conversation offers a clear, practical perspective on what comes next. Thank you to our sponsor, Deel, an AI-native platform for HR, IT, and payroll.
