Is AI infrastructure moving to space? This week on Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Gabe Goodhart, Mihai Criveti and Sandi Besen to break down SpaceX's IPO filing targeting AI and orbital infrastructure. Our experts analyze IBM's latest research on orbital AI infrastructure and what this means for the future of compute. Next, we tackle Bluesky's new AI tool, Attie, which became the platform's 2nd most blocked account. What went wrong with this chatbot rollout? Then, we discuss Ezra Klein's thought-provoking piece on "cognitive offloading" versus "cognitive surrender"—are we using AI as a tool or giving up on thinking? Join host Tim Hwang and our panel of AI experts on this week's Mixture of Experts to find out.

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.
