Today's AI models train once. We don't work that way. We learn continuously, forget what doesn't matter, and retain what does. That gap is what Dan Biderman and Jessy Lin are closing at Engram. AI that never stops learning, with memory that lives inside the model instead of bolted...

Here's my conversation with Charan Ranganath, psychologist & neuroscientist at UC Davis, specializing in human memory. We talk about memory, imagination, deja vu, false memories, why we remember, why we forget, and a lot of other fascinating mysteries about the human mind. It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.

In this episode, Engram co-founder and CEO Dan Biderman joins allen to cook Mediterranean meatballs with yellow rice and talk about building AI that actually learns from you: why long context, RAG, and compaction eventually break down, how Engram compresses knowledge into cartridges and model weights, what continual learning could unlock for long-horizon agents, why token efficiency is inseparable from intelligence, how personal models could improve like Tamagotchis, and what it takes to build the research and infrastructure for millions of continuously updated AI memories.

When should you start post-training your own models? Fireworks CEO Lin Qiao’s answer: after product-market fit. Not because it's hard... but because only after PMF is the data coming off your product surface worth training on. Lin joined us for our Sequoia Capital "Own Your Intelligence" event to host a workshop on all things post-training; what works, what breaks, and how not to let the model outsmart you. Must listen!! 00:00 Introduction 00:37 What Fireworks sees across thousands of AI applications 02:47 Off-the-shelf APIs and the problem of keeping your taste 03:58 What "owning your intelligence" actually means 05:43 The progression: prompting → RAG → SFT → preferences → RL 07:20 Why this mirrors how humans learn 09:03 Matching the technique to the problem you actually have 10:46 Where teams get stuck: data quality and vibe evals 12:28 Reward hacking: the model that wrote zero lines of code 13:59 Training-to-serving alignment (and why quality drops) 15:55 Post-training in healthcare and security 17:31 From coding to every co-work domain 19:35 Incumbents, cost burden, and not scaling into bankruptcy 21:26 How much control do you want? 23:24 Q&A: What makes a good reward signal 25:00 Q&A: When to start thinking about post-training

When Mudith Jayasekara and I met Gabe Pereyra, we were expecting just another vanilla intro call and instead had the best yarn about research, the state of LLMs, and where intelligence is actually heading. It's rare to meet a founder this deep in the weeds who's also building for one of the most important verticals in this new age of intelligence So it was awesome to sit down with Gabe for an extended discussion on what it take to build agents that can reliably complete work over hours, days, or even longer? We talked about why agents today struggle with search and long context windows and how techniques like KV-cache compaction, synthetic data, and continual learning could help. 0:00 Introduction 0:36 Getting legal agents to review the whole data room 2:08 Data rooms larger than any context window 5:28 How far open-source models can go 7:58 Where specialist models fit in legal AI 10:59 Training legal models when client data is off-limits 13:06 Teaching a model how a law firm works 13:59 What belongs in context vs. model weights 15:36 From firm-wide AI to a model for every lawyer 18:37 What training adds beyond retrieving the right cases 20:26 Why context windows have plateaued 24:01 How models could learn continuously on the job 26:12 Can AI recursively improve AI research? 27:07 Research agents can run experiments but not choose them 30:00 Why open-ended research is hard to train 33:47 Why deployment, not intelligence, is the bottleneck 35:08 The cost of frontier intelligence 36:59 Different neolabs, different paths to intelligence 39:26 Using open datasets to compare research methods 41:13 Conclusion

Yoshua Bengio thinks he knows how to make provably safe superintelligent agents. Bengio built the foundations of modern AI and is the most cited living scientist. He believes his alternative training setup would: 1. Guarantee honesty 2. Prevent unintended goals 3. Produce capable agents 4. Port over most data and techniques from current LLMs 5. Not be inherently more expensive, and perhaps be more intelligent Bengio claims the honesty and lack of unintended goals can be proven mathematically, at least given particular assumptions. And his new organization, LawZero, is aiming to build a scrappy prototype as soon as possible. The architecture is called 'Scientist AI' and it's based on training a model to explain empirical observations, including what people say, rather than training AIs that mimic human behaviour or seek our approval. (Bengio's frank assessment is that "reinforcement learning is evil" and that allowing AIs to independently train their successors is "the most crazy, dangerous bet that unfortunately we are on track to do.") But skeptics question whether Scientist AI really does solve the fundamental problem of 'eliciting latent knowledge' from AI models. And with the commercial race for superintelligence so intense, it's not clear whether the proposal will be able to compete or have time to bear fruit, even if it's sound in theory.

Here's my conversation with Lucas Atkins and the team at Arcee.ai on their path to training and releasing Trinity Large today. From going all in on open models built end to end in the US 6 months ago to having the model in hand is no easy feet. I loved this conversation on how to design a startup around open models and take a bold step to scale it up. I'm openly an Arcee fan, watching them take risk and pull it off. We discuss: - The state (and future) of open vs. closed models, - The business of selling open models for on-prem deployments, - The story of Arcee AI & going “all-in” on this training run, - The ATOM project, - Building frontier model training teams in 6 months, - and other great topics. I really loved this one, and think you well too. Chapters: 00:00:00 Intro: Arcee AI, Trinity Models & Trinity Large 00:08:26 Transitioning a Company to Pre-training 00:13:00 Technical Decisions: Muon and MoE 00:18:41 Scaling and MoE Training Pain 00:23:14 Post-training and RL Strategies 00:28:09 Team Structure and Data Scaling 00:31:31 The Trinity Manifesto: US Open Weights 00:42:31 Specialized Models and Distillation 00:47:12 Infrastructure and Hosting 400B 00:50:53 Open Source as a Business Moat 00:56:31 Predictions: Best Model in 2026 01:02:29 Lightning Round & Conclusions More great open model builder podcasts coming soon!
