3 april 2026 · 10 min
A team of theoretical physicists from Harvard, Cambridge, the Institute for Advanced Study, and Vanderbilt used OpenAI’s models not just as a tool, but as a collaborator, cracking a problem in particle physics that had stymied them for months. In this Five-Minute Friday, Jon Krohn walks through how GPT-5.2 Pro simplified a 32-variable mathematical expression into a single line, proposed what it called the “obvious generalization” for any number of gluons, and how a more powerful internal model then produced a formal proof after 12 hours of autonomous reasoning. Find out why this may be a template for AI-assisted scientific discovery and what it means for the future of research. Lees meer

979: Agentic Data Management and the Future of Enterprise AI, with Rohit Choudhary
31 maart 2026 · 1 uur 5 min
For years, Jon has been quoting the stat that the world's data is roughly doubling every year. His guest today says that’s way too conservative, he’s seeing enterprise data soon growing at close to 10x per year. And most organizations are nowhere near ready for what that means. In this episode, Rohit Choudhary, founder and CEO of Acceldata, explains how the agentic data management platform his team has built helps enterprises make their increasingly vast amounts of data self-aware, self-optimizing, and AI-ready. He breaks down why governance needs to be operational and real-time rather than a one-time compliance exercise, and shares his view on why the most valuable professionals in the age of AI won’t be the best programmers, they’ll be the ones with the clearest thinking and the deepest domain expertise.

977: Attention, World Models and the Future of AI, with Prof. Kyunghyun Cho
24 maart 2026 · 1 uur 18 min
What’s going to be the next big step function that blasts us forward in AI capabilities? To find out, Jon Krohn sits down with Professor Kyunghyun Cho, whose 200,000 citations and co-authorship of the first paper on attention place him among the most influential AI researchers in the world. In this episode, Kyunghyun explains why today’s models have already captured most correlations in passive data, making the real challenge about actively choosing which data to collect. He also weighs in on the open debate around world models, whether AI needs high-fidelity, step-by-step imagination or whether a high-level latent representation that lets it skip ahead is sufficient and shares the surprising discovery that 80% of his 200 computer science students had never installed a coding agent.

956: From Agent Demo to Enterprise Product (with Ease!) feat. Salesforce’s Tyler Carlson
9 januari 2026 · 26 min
#Sponsored SVP, Head of Product for Salesforce’s AppExchange & Ecosystem, Tyler Carlson, talks to Jon Krohn about taking AI agents from prototype to enterprise-grade production with the Agentforce 360 Platform. Though we may now have plenty of tools to build demos for AI agents, most teams still struggle to turn early prototypes into secure and scalable products. With Salesforce’s Agentforce 360 Platform, users can build customer-focused agentic applications with a multi-LLM planner service for reasoning and logic, as well as a new scripting language for deterministic control over how agents interact with the contextual layer of the Salesforce data model. Learn how Salesforce’s WYSIWYG schema builder helps customers build fully functional applications with low- and pro-code capabilities, the common mistakes that innovators make when moving from prototype to production, and whether AI agents might replace non-agentic AI applications in this Feature Friday.
