How can a voice agent tell when you’re actually interrupting it? VAD is too sensitive—laughs, “mm-hmm,” or a sneeze shouldn’t stop the agent. We trained an audio model for adaptive interruption handling so agents can distinguish real interruptions from noise.

Congrats XBOW on another milestone! If you're a security leader thinking about how to keep pace with AI-powered attacks, the XBOW team (@oegerikus @nicowaisman Niro Albert Jonaki + team) would love to hear from you. When we first invested, the thesis was simple: AI would reshape offense before it reshaped defense. Attackers wouldn't wait for permission to use LLMs. Defenders needed an autonomous system that could match that speed. Since our investment, XBOW has proven the thesis. Top of the HackerOne leaderboard. Over 100 customers. Running safely in live production at some of the most security-conscious companies in the world. What excites me most is what comes next. The shift from point-in-time pentesting to continuous autonomous security testing is just beginning, and XBOW is defining the category. Excited to be on this journey w Ron @Konstantine @laurenmhreeder @wmccarthy11 and welcome our friends Sam Fort Ramin Sayar William Morrison Sanjot Malhi!

Conversation with @vishalmisra where he goes into detail of how LLMs are *exactly* Bayesian. He demonstrates this both empirically and formally. This is foundational work on the capabilities (and limitations) of LLMs. youtube.com/watch?v=zwDmKs…

Awesome stuff from the @Hammerspace_Inc team. Storage is more important than ever. In the age of AI, storage systems will need to be re-invented to keep up with model's insatiable demand for data (both during training and inference). Nvidia today came out with their "AI Data Platform" reference architecture to help enterprises solve these storage challenges. Pumped to see Hammerspace listed as 1 of 12 partners, alongside some legendary storage companies! nvidia.com/en-us/data-cen…

What drove ChatGPT from 0 to a billion users? How do they plan to get the next billion? New pod. Sat down with @nickaturley, Head of ChatGPT, for one of the more candid conversations I've had on the show. We cover GPU allocation tradeoffs, retention smile curves, pricing, Code Red as a strategy, bringing on @steipete from OpenClaw, and why Nick believes curiosity is the only perma-skill in the age of AI (with a shoutout to our friend @bgurley's new book). full interview in comments

Been saying this for a year. Agentic AI is backend engineering far more than it is AI. This stands true for any technology, once you scale and abstract it enough, you’re only left with engineering problems.
