This week, hosts Conor Bronsdon and Atindriyo Sanyal discuss the fallout from DeepSeek's groundbreaking R1 model, its impact on the open-source AI landscape, and how its release will impact model development moving forward. They also discuss what effect (if any) export controls have had on AI innovation and whether we’re witnessing the rise of “Agents as a Service”.

To tackle the increasing complexity of agentic systems, Conor and Atin highlight the need for robust evaluation frameworks, discussing the challenges of measuring agent performance, and how the recent launch of Galileo's agentic evaluations are empowering developers to build safer and more effective AI agents.
