We engage in fascinating discussions with pre-eminent figures in the AI field. Our flagship show covers current affairs in AI, cognitive science, neuroscience and philosophy of mind with in-depth analysis. Our approach is unrivalled in terms of scope and rigour – we believe in intellectual diversity in AI, and we touch on all of the main ideas in the field with the hype surgically removed. MLST is run by Tim Scarfe, Ph.D (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ecsquizor/) and features regular appearances from MIT Doctor of Philosophy Keith Duggar (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-keith-duggar/).","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/machine-learning-street-talk"},"episode":{"title":"Eiso Kant (CTO poolside) - Superhuman Coding Is Coming!","slug":"eiso-kant-cto-poolside-superhuman-coding-is-coming","published_at":"2025-04-02T19:58:20+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/machine-learning-street-talk/eiso-kant-cto-poolside-superhuman-coding-is-coming","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/machine-learning-street-talk","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/machinelearningstreettalk/episodes/Eiso-Kant-CTO-poolside---Superhuman-Coding-Is-Coming-e3117gu","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/1e4a0eac/podcast/play/100752350/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-3-2%2F9a64e682-db0b-c9ec-bed7-1469af13f755.mp3","summary":"Eiso Kant, CTO of poolside AI, discusses the company's approach to building frontier AI foundation models, particularly focused on software development. Their unique strategy is reinforcement learning from code execution feedback which is an important axis for scaling AI capabilities beyond just increasing model size or data volume. Kant predicts human-level AI in knowledge work could be achieved within 18-36 months, outlining poolside's vision to dramatically increase software development productivity and accessibility.
