Show Notes
Is your desktop ready for AI agents? In episode 90 of Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Volkmar Uhlig, Olivia Buzek and Mihai Criveti to break down Anthropic's Claude Cowork launch—bringing the power of Claude Code to everyday job tasks. Would you trust an AI agent to organize your files? Next, Apple announces a partnership with Google to power the next generation of Siri with Gemini models. What does this mean for on-device AI, privacy and the future of edge intelligence? Then, in a surprising turn, Linux creator Linus Torvalds admits to using AI agents for a side project involving vibe coding, despite once mockingly saying that “vibe”stands for “very inefficient but entertaining.” Are coding tools finally good enough for even the old guard? All that and more on today's Mixture of Experts.

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.
