Unleashing the Power of Agents with the "Forrest Gump of Tech"

  • Reuven Cohen, Founder, Agentics Foundation

From cloud computing to infrastructure-as-a-service, Reuven Cohen (AKA rUv) has been on the cutting edge of every major technology supercycle—and he’s now one of the most influential people in the agentic AI space. With the help of agents, rUv produced 10 million lines of usable code last year. That’s 33,000 years of output from one human. rUv’s approach proves one of two things: he’s either an outlier or a leading indicator of what’s to come. In this episode, we talk to rUv about: His approach to training autonomous agents; The rapid advancements in agentic code development; Why LLMs are vulnerable to data poisoning; and Why Python is bad for agentic development.

Building Transparent, Open-Source AI with Sriram Raghavan

  • Sriram Raghavan, Vice President of IBM Research AI

Hosts Aaron Fulkerson and Mark Hinkle sit down with Sriram Raghavan, Vice President of IBM Research AI, at the AllThingsOpen.ai conference. As an experienced industry expert, Sriram leads a global team of over 750 research scientists and engineers focused on advancing AI. Sriram and IBM believe that the future of AI is open source. That’s why IBM recently contributed three AI projects — Docling, Data Prep Kit, and BeeAI — to the Linux Foundation. And while there is a lot of hype around LLMs right now, IBM is leaning into smaller “fit-for-purpose” models that give developers choice. In the episode, Sriram also digs into IBM’s approach to open-source models; What innovations he sees coming for enterprise AI; and How his team is approaching responsible, secure AI.
