Episode notes
Google Opal Opens Globally
- Google Opal now lets teams design AI workflows across Google services like YouTube and Drive.
- It is limited to the Google ecosystem and won’t connect to external models or non-Google resources.
Chinese Open Models Are Highly Competitive
- Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2 Instruct Reasoning is an open-weights model that outperforms many Western models on benchmarks.
- The model is free to download but requires substantial hardware to run effectively.
Better Math Could Transform AI Costs
- New mathematical techniques can compress recurring computation so models don’t redo work every prompt.
- That approach could reduce compute needs by orders of magnitude and change AI economics.
