This week we sat down with Jim Olsen, co-founder and CTO of ModelOp, to explore what it takes to get AI into production inside Fortune 500 companies. Building a model is only part of the job.

We also dig into Claude Fable 5 b...

This week we sit down with Ryan Aytay, President and COO of Code Metal, to dig into one of the most underestimated problems in tech — the legacy code running mission critical infrastructure across aerospace, defense, automotive, and medical devices. Code Metal translates that code to any hardware with mathematical proof it will behave identically. Provably correct. We also dig into Meta glasses, J...

Clinical trials are one of the slowest and most expensive processes in modern medicine.
