The Base Model Is Dead — Varun Singh, Arcee AI Jul 31, 2026 · 17:45 The base model's job is shifting from mirroring web text to building a prior for reasoning and agentic behavior. This requires integrating synthetic, SFT-flavored data early into pre-training.

What's Next After RLHF? — Diogo Almeida, TypeSafe AI Jul 31, 2026 · 18:05 Diogo Almeida argues that current LLMs, trained via RLHF, optimize for human preference rather than reliable automation. The next frontier requires optimizing AI for verifiable rewards and autonomous decision-making. The State of Model Routing — NVIDIA, Cognition, OpenRouter Aug 6, 2026 · 48:17 Model routing is evolving from simple task-based selection to complex orchestration, requiring systems that can adapt when tasks change state—from question to feature request to live debugging. Compression at the Edge — Chris Alexiuk, NVIDIA Aug 7, 2026 · 46:01 Model compression, particularly through advanced quantization like NVFP4 (a 4-bit float format), is critical for running massive LLMs on edge devices. Techniques allow shrinking models dramatically (e.g., GLM 5.2 from 1.5 TB to 250 GB) while maintaining performance.

Why Nobody Has Solved Continual Learning Oct 16, 2026 · 19:35 The continual learning loop is unsolved. We must balance SFT (knowledge injection) and RL (behavior optimization) by carefully tuning the SFT/Distillation to RL ratio for optimal model performance. From Code to Intelligence: The Rise of the Full-Stack AI Engineer - Adam Stephensen - NDC Oslo 2026 Oct 12, 2026 · 1:00:23 AI success is an ecosystem problem, not a model problem. The Full-Stack AI Engineer must orchestrate intelligence across data platforms, agents, and low-code tools, while prioritizing governance and data quality. Building Blazing Fast AI-Native Apps: A Developer's Guide to the Database Underneath Oct 8, 2026 · 29:18 Building AI-native apps requires a unified data layer. We explore how ClickHouse handles vector search, real-time event ingestion, and complex agentic workflows, making it a single platform from first feature to complex agent.
