Can you trade GPU compute like oil futures? This week on Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Mihai Criveti, Rynne Whitnah and Gabe Goodhart. First, we explore Reddit's aggressive new strategy to combat AI-generated spam and bots threatening platform authenticity. Next, we dive deep into Anthropic's Economic Index from June 2026. The report reveals how people actually use AI assistant Claude throughout their day, from homework help to weekend game development. Then, we analyze Orn's $33 million raise to create a liquid marketplace for buying and selling compute power. Is GPU compute the new commodity market? Finally, Anthropic enters the chip race with potential Samsung partnership. We debate whether frontier labs can successfully build their own hardware and reduce NVIDIA dependency. Listen to this week’s Mixture of Experts for more!

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.
