Navigating AI Evaluation and Observability with Atin Sanyal

As GenAI tools have become more intelligent and robust, the reliability of their output has decreased. Enter Galileo: an AI reliability platform designed for GenAI applications. Atin Sanyal — the Co-founder and CTO of Galileo — has a background building machine learning tech at Uber and Apple. One innovative technique that sets Galileo apart is ChainPoll — their hallucination detection methodology that uses consensus scoring and prompts the LLM to outline its step-by-step reasoning process.  In this episode, hosts Aaron Fulkerson and Mark Hinkle talk to Atin about: What evaluation agents are, and why they get smarter over time How Galileo helps enterprises evolve their own AI quality metrics Why data quality and confidential computing will become increasingly important to enterprises building AI systems If you want to learn more about AI and how to benefit from it responsibly, visit opaque.co

On the Cutting Edge of Agentic AI with João Moura

João Moura built the agentic AI open source framework, CrewAI, with a central vision: to make agent creation feel borderline magical. Inspired by the Ruby on Rails philosophy of “convention over configuration,” CrewAI is designed for speed, clarity, and ease of use. What we love about João’s approach to agentic AI is that he’s not just disrupting the market. He’s shifting the way enterprise leaders think about long-term workflows and processes, too. In this episode, hosts Aaron Fulkerson and Mark Hinkle talk to João about: Why interoperability across your stack is essential for scaling AI The importance of building secure AI systems How managers are uniquely equipped to build effective agents The dangers of “agent washing" and how to see through the hype If you want to learn more about AI and how to benefit from it responsibly, visit opaque.co

Building transparent, open-source AI with Sriram Raghavan

Hosts Aaron Fulkerson and Mark Hinkle sit down with Sriram Raghavan, Vice President of IBM Research AI, at the AllThingsOpen.ai conference. As an experienced industry expert, Sriram leads a global team of over 750 research scientists and engineers focused on advancing AI.  Sriram and IBM believe that the future of AI is open source. That’s why IBM recently contributed three AI projects — Docling, Data Prep Kit, and BeeAI — to the Linux Foundation. And while there is a lot of hype around LLMs right now, IBM is leaning into smaller “fit-for-purpose” models that give developers choice. In the episode, Sriram also digs into: IBM’s approach to open-source models What innovations he sees coming for enterprise AI How his team is approaching responsible, secure AI

Unleashing the Power of Agents with the "Forrest Gump of Tech"

From cloud computing to infrastructure-as-a-service, Reuven Cohen (AKA rUv) has been on the cutting edge of every major technology supercycle — and he’s now one of the most influential people in the agentic AI space. With the help of agents, rUv produced 10 million lines of usable code last year. That’s 33,000 years of output from one human. rUv’s approach proves one of two things: he’s either an outlier or a leading indicator of what’s to come. In this episode, we talk to rUv about:  His approach to training autonomous agents The rapid advancements in agentic code development  Why LLMs are vulnerable to data poisoning Why Python is bad for agentic development
