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.

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.
