Limitless: An AI Podcast

Samsung’s brain-melting profits are clear evidence of the growing role of memory chips in the AI supply chain, with a focus on DRAM, NAND, and high bandwidth memory. Today we explore how Samsung and SK Hynix have gained pricing power as HBM demand strains factory capacity and pushes up costs for consumer devices.We also cover the market reaction to recent earnings, including share declines even...

Inference is becoming more important than pre-training in AI chips, including how pre-fill and decode work and why more compute is shifting toward serving models. Today we walk through Etched’s ASIC system for transformer inference, its claims around efficiency and throughput, and the tradeoff between specialization and general-purpose GPUs like NVIDIA’s. We also look at custom chip efforts from...

We are so back. Anthropic announced the return of Fable 5, its safety updates, and related releases like Sonnet 5 and Claude Science. In other news this week, we look into Meta’s brain-to-text research, OpenAI reports, new inference hardware, and recent robotics demos.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/FOLLOW ON X: https://x.com/LimitlessFTSPOTIFY:...

This is the long-awaited Energy Stack episode. The AI trade is shifting from GPUs to the power, wiring, and data center infrastructure needed to support them. Today, we cover Bloom Energy, optical networking companies like Lumentum and Corning, Marvell’s role in AI hardware, and neocloud providers such as Nebius, CoreWeave, and IREN.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️NEWSLETTER:...

In this episode, we discuss OpenAI’s restricted GPT-5.6, its model tiers, and questions raised by its benchmark results and reported behavior. We also cover pricing pressure from open source AI models, limited public access to frontier systems, and broader consolidation in the AI industry.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/FOLLOW ON X:...

Today we're unpacking OpenAI’s plan to build its own custom AI chip—the Jalepeño—and what that means for its hardware strategy. We also cover Micron’s strong earnings, its ties to Anthropic, Meta’s next model timeline, and new developments from Google, Amazon, Anthropic, and Valar Atomics.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/FOLLOW ON X:...

Quantum computing is shaping up to be the next major technology after AI, especially in the wake of U.S. efforts to speed up development and prepare for quantum security threats.So let's walk through the basics of qubits, the impact on encryption and Bitcoin, and the main companies and applications currently shaping the field.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️NEWSLETTER:...

The Chinese open-weight AI model GLM 5.2 compares with leading models from OpenAI and Anthropic on coding and development tasks. Today, we cover the shift toward cheaper AI models, the difference between open weights and closed models, and the U.S. government’s reported ban on Anthropic’s most powerful model after security testing.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️NEWSLETTER:...

We discuss Snap’s new AR glasses, AI governance at the G7, and Noam Shazeer’s move from Google to OpenAI. We also cover Anthropic’s Fable 5 being shut down, Microsoft’s use of a Chinese open-source model in Copilot, and Meta’s latest AI push.------🌌 LIMITLESS HQ ⬇️NEWSLETTER: https://limitlessft.substack.com/FOLLOW ON X: https://x.com/LimitlessFTSPOTIFY:...
