Summary
In this episode, we discuss OpenAI's first custom inference chip Jalapeño built with Broadcom, and what it means for OpenAI's push to cut compute costs and reduce reliance on Nvidia. We dig into Anthropic's accusations that operators tied to Alibaba and the Qwen AI lab ran the largest known Claude distillation attack, the Trump administration pressing Meta to join voluntary pre-release AI model reviews alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI, and another wave of Gemini researchers leaving Google for Anthropic. We unpack the strategic tensions across frontier labs, open-weight models, AI policy, and the escalating AI talent war. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Broadcom, Anthropic, Alibaba, Qwen, Meta, Google, DeepMind, Microsoft, xAI, Nvidia, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
