Conversations that
decode what’s next.
Where the best technology & founder stories land first.
In-depth conversations with the founders, engineers, and investors building the companies that shape our future. Hosted by Dr. Rohith Reddy.
Featured Conversation
A deep technical unpack into autonomous reasoning engines, LLM stack bottlenecks, and enterprise realties.
“Where AI Goes After the Hype”
We unpack the shift from decorative chatbots to autonomous reasoning engines, production stack bottlenecks, and what true enterprise value actually looks like in 2026.
KEY TAKEAWAYS IN THIS EPISODE
- Why context window size is no longer the sole bottleneck for LLM deployment.
- The economics of hosting custom fine-tuned open weights vs proprietary API calls.
- How agentic feedback loops are redefining modern developer tooling and CI/CD.
- Navigating model safety without compromising speed and execution bandwidth.
