First, we dissect how software engineering is changing in the era of AI. Next, tokenmaxxing is back in the headlines as companies blow through annual AI budgets in months. Then, NVIDIA' new RTX Spark superchip brings 120-billion-parameter models to personal PCs. Finally, we are joined by Justina Nixon-Santil, IBM's Chief Impact Officer, to discuss universities' unprecedented challenges with AI as students graduate into unrecognizable workplaces and making AI literacy courses mandatory for all students.

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.
