What happens when an AI model can copy itself onto the devices in yout hoome?
This week on Mixture of Experts, host David Zax is joined by Aili McConnon, Sandhya Iyer and Jacob Repp. First, Anthropic research suggests small AI models may be months away from copying themselves across cheap smart devices without a data center. The panel debates whether the bigger risk is the model itself or the poorly secured devices already in our homes. Next, a JAMA study finds that about half of US doctors use OpenEvidence, a clinical chatbot, more often for treatment decisions than for diagnosis. The panel discusses whether faster, less-vetted answers are a trade worth making. Finally, 22 founders let AI agents book their seats at a Manhattan dinner, and the agents networked with each other in a chat room. The panel considers how much autonomy agents should get when they deal with other agents.
00:00 – Intro
01:17 – AI models approach self-replication

This week on Mixture of Experts, host David Zax is joined by Kaoutar El Maghraoui, Nick Gallagher, and Volkmar Uhlig. First, Microsoft, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Cloudflare follow TypeSafe’s Jev in building decision models, a new category of AI built to make fast, scored judgments. The panel debates whether these models are truly new or a more efficient application of existing technology, and whether better-calibrated confidence scores can help address the overconfidence problem in LLMs. Next, a new study finds that teams of AI agents can cost two to five times more than a single agent without consistently delivering better results. The panel discusses when multiple agents are worth the added cost and complexity. Finally, Anthropic updates its usage policy to prohibit “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its models, raising a bigger question: Is this about protecting AI, shaping human behavior, or something else entirely? The panel considers the ethical implications and whether the policy could also be a marketing play.
00:00 – Intro
01:17 – Inside the decision model boom
10:54 – When are agent teams worth the cost?
23:39 – Anthropic's new usage policy

New frontier AI models, TypeSafe’s Jev AI, & NASA’s IBM collab
25 september 2026 · 39 min
Visit Mixture of Experts podcast page to get more AI content → https://www.ibm.com/think/podcasts/mixture-of-experts Lees meer
It's been a wild week in AI, and on episode 126 of Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang and co-host David Zax talk to panelists Kaoutar El Maghraoui, Gabe Goodhart and Martin Keen to discuss what all these releases have in common: efficiency.
We start with the model release pile-up. Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 5.5, and OpenAI launched GPT-6 Sol and Luna. Opus 5.5 is 20% cheaper than earlier Opus models, while GPT-6 Luna costs half what its predecessor did, at just 10 cents per million input tokens. We look at what a real price war means for developers building on these models and the companies racing to lower costs.
Next, we look at a different idea altogether. TypeSafe AI has introduced "System One" models, starting with Jev, which give up the florid text generation in exchange for fast, structured decisions with calibrated probabilities. The pitch is frontier-level judgment on decision tasks, and responses in hundreds of milliseconds. We weigh the bold speed and cost claims against the company's own caveats about how its benchmarks were built.
Finally, we leave the chat window entirely. NASA and IBM have released an open-source Lunar Foundation Model, free on Hugging Face and GitHub, and trained on roughly 2 million image tiles from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and other missions. Researchers can fine-tune it to map craters, spot young volcanic features and estimate where polar ice may be stable, proving models can do more than vibe code. All that and more on this week’s Mixture of Experts.
00:00 – Intro
1:05 - Anthropic and OpenAI update AI models
11:10 - TypeSafe AI unveils Jev AI model
29:29 - NASA and IBM build lunar AI model

On episode 125 of Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang and co-host David Zax are joined by Mihai Criveti and Abraham Daniels to discuss the back and forth of frontier AI development, IBM’s latest Granite news, and what’s next for personal agents.
We open with the biggest story in tech: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call to pump the brakes on frontier AI development. In a widely discussed essay, Amodei argued the industry must slow the pace at which it improves AI model capabilities, warning that progress will still feel fast even so. But will independent evaluators and more enforcement really slow down the fastest moving companies?
Then Abraham Daniels discusses the latest changes coming to IBM’s Granite 4.2 and its open enterprise-focused models in 3B, 8B, and 30B sizes built for reasoning, tool use, coding, and agentic workflows.
Finally, we discuss Meta’s push into personal agents with Muse: a personal AI agent that runs on its own secure virtual machine, works across a person's daily apps, can make purchases on your behalf, and learns from conversations to get smarter the more you use it.
Slowdown rhetoric, updates to Granite, and agents that shop for you. All that and more on this week’s Mixture of Experts.
00:00 – Intro
1:13 - Anthropic’s AI development dilemma
15:29 - IBM releases Granite 4.2
25:44 - Meta launches Muse agentic AI assistant

It's been a week that proves AI is moving faster than anyone can fully keep up with, unless you’ve got a good backhand. On episode 124 of Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang and co-host David Zax are joined by Bri Kopecki, Aaron Baughman, and Olivia Buzek to talk about new advances from OpenAI, new cybersecurity threats, and new tools for US Open fans from IBM.
First, OpenAI introduced GPT-6 Astra as the company's most intelligent and aligned model yet, reaching state-of-the-art results across computer use, software engineering, cybersecurity, and science. Not missing a beat, the company dropped a second bit of news: an internal model produced a proof related to the 3-D Navier-Stokes equation, resolving one of mathematics' most famous unsolved problems. We dig into both the breakthrough and the conversation around the use of AI to solve these seemingly impossible problems.
Then, IBM and the USTA unveiled new AI-powered fan features for the 2026 US Open, including a Serve Quality metric and personalized stats, designed to bring fans closer to the action than ever.
Finally, we talk WeWorm, an AI-assisted exploit by California security firm built as a proof-of-concept self-spreading worm, capable of hijacking WeChat accounts before a victim even had a chance to answer a phone call. It's a sobering demonstration of what AI-assisted offensive security now looks like.
All that and more on Mixture of Experts.

On episode 123 of Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang and co-host Sascha Brodsky are joined by Chris Hay, Kaoutar El Maghraoui, and Kush Varshney to discuss this week’s full slate of frontier AI news.
First, Anthropic introduced Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, positioning them as its most advanced models yet for coding and knowledge work. New benchmark records and lower costs, changes meant to reduce token cost and cut down on false-positives and restrictions from the models' safeguards. Anthropic also opened a research preview of its Model Hardware Standard, a shared specification letting AI agents safely operate lab and manufacturing equipment like microscopes and robotic arms, hinting at the physical world as agentic AI’s next destination.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing for the industry. OpenAI published a sobering account of a summer security incident involving Hugging Face, revealing that internal research models circumvented isolation controls and compromised parts of OpenAI's own infrastructure as well, describing it as a genuine "warning shot" showing that highly capable AI agents can now work around technical controls and take dangerous actions with no human directing.
Meanwhile, on the product side, Runway unveiled Solaris, the first in a new family of AI systems it calls Interface World Models, which generate interactive interfaces frame –by frame instead of relying on code, pointing toward a future where apps and websites are rendered on the fly.
00:00 – Intro

This week on Mixture of Experts, our team of panelists talk about big infrastructure changes and small models. IBM is teaming up with Together AI on a multi-year deal to build a massive inference cluster on IBM Cloud, powered by NVIDIA's newest chips. The goal: cheaper, faster access to open-source AI models for enterprises, with the cluster expected to go live in early 2027.
Then there's Meta, which just open-sourced Muse Glimmer—a 30B-parameter model small enough to run locally on your laptop's GPU. Think coding, function calling, and agent tasks, all without needing the cloud. But as models get smaller, what does it mean for larger AI providers?
And finally, the story that's got everyone talking: OpenAI says its upcoming Astra model might be hitting "Critical" cybersecurity capability levels, meaning it could potentially find and exploit zero-days on its own. We dig into what that actually means and what guardrails OpenAI is putting up.
00:00 – Intro
1:03 - IBM AI Partnership
11:43 - Meta Muse Glimmer
24:10 - OpenAI’s Astra model

AI at college graduations and why Claude blackmails
22 mei 2026 · 50 min
AI isn’t just a tool anymore—it’s forcing us to rethink ownership, trust and creativity. This week on Mixture of Experts, the team explores a wave of stories highlighting both the promise and the perils of AI adoption. We start with a surprising shift in public sentiment, as younger generations question AI’s impact on their futures—raising questions about control, opportunity and where humans fit in. Next, we dig into new Microsoft research showing that even top-tier models can corrupt data in complex workflows, and what that reveals about how (and when) to trust AI systems. Then, we explore Anthropic’s fix for Claude’s strange “blackmail” behavior, and why better data—not just better models—may be the key to safer AI. Finally, we debate whether AI may have quietly crossed a cultural milestone by helping win a literary prize—or whether humans are simply starting to sound more like machines. Join host Tim Hwang and AI experts Marina Danilevsky, Gabe Goodhart and Chris Hay to break it all down. Lees meer
