On episode 2 of Lab Notes, Amir Zohrenejad sits down with Hanchen Li to explore the systems that make modern AI agents faster, more efficient, and better at learning from experience. They discuss KV Cache optimization, long-context inference, prompt learning, continual learning, and why better benchmarks may be just as important as larger models in advancing AI research.

On episode 92 of o11ycast, Ray Myers joins Ken and Jess to explore how observability, reliability engineering, and formal software engineering practices are becoming even more important as AI coding agents take on larger roles in development. Rather than viewing AI as a replacement for established engineering disciplines, Ray argues that techniques like continuous delivery, testing, specifications, and formal verification provide the confidence needed to safely harness AI-generated code.

On episode 40 of Open Source Ready, Brian Douglas and John McBride sit down with Orhun Parmaksiz to explore Ratty, his experimental GPU-rendered terminal emulator that combines traditional command-line workflows with interactive 3D graphics. They discuss the future of terminal user interfaces, how AI is accelerating developer tooling, and what recent supply chain attacks on Arch Linux reveal about the evolving security landscape for open source software.
