How to become an AI researcher with Charlie O'Neill Charlie co-founded Parsed to build specialized open-source models that can outperform frontier labs. I first met Charlie when Parsed was acquired by Baseten, and now he leads our model development team. Charlie is one of the smartest people I know, and I had the pleasure of talking to him about: 0:00 Intro 3:13 Leaving Oxford to start a company 6:37 Becoming an AI researcher 15:37 Developing a unique POV as your moat 22:04 Parsed origin story 26:01 Big Token, the case for open-source models 33:40 Post-training, fine-tuning, specialization 46:52 Will open models catch up with closed models? 51:50 AI-led job replacement vs job creation 54:45 How to get into inference engineering This is one of my favorite conversations I’ve had in a long time. Made with Lan behind the scenes. Enjoy!

I went to Miami to chat with dax, co-founder of OpenCode. We talked about the future of software engineering, coding agents, and why open source matters more now than ever. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 5:30 Miami vs San Francisco tech scene 15:05 OpenCode origin story, scaling while open-source 25:03 OpenCode vs. Anthropic: owning models, open-source AI 33:36 AI hardware shortages, predicting the future 42:15 The bet of open-weight models, China vs. US 48:34 Why inference is hard, economics of intelligence 55:36 Will developers be automated? Software engineering as a craft 1:11:02 Advice to founders, building in public, marketing I had so much fun making this with Lan. Enjoy!

With the launch of GLM 5.2 this week, I see everyone asking "have open models caught up to closed models?" The more interesting question that's getting missed: what can you do with an open model that you can't do with a closed one? You can specialize them. And when you do, the number of economically valuable tasks open models can do actually subsumes that of closed models. Charlie O'Neill explaining this:
