Nvidia CES 2026

Semi Doped

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from centralized cloud training to distributed local inference creates a massive demand for high-bandwidth storage and custom CPUs.
  2. Audit your technical roadmap to prioritize local agentic workflows that reduce latency and data privacy risks.
  3. The next 12 months will favor hardware that enables physical AI and local autonomy. Owning the compute stack is becoming a competitive necessity for builders who want to move faster than the cloud allows.

Post-training best-in-class models in 2025

Weights & Biases

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Intelligence is decoupling from scale. As reasoning becomes a commodity, the value moves from the size of the model to the proprietary nature of the training data.
  2. Use TRL or Unsloth for single-GPU fine-tuning. Prioritize cleaning your instruction sets over increasing your training iterations.
  3. The future belongs to those who own their data pipelines. If you can distill elite reasoning into a 350M parameter model, you win on latency, cost, and privacy.

Intelligent Robots in 2026: Are We There Yet? [Nikita Rudin] - 760

The TWIML AI Podcast with Sam Charrington

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Moving from Blind Locomotion to Semantic Navigation defines the next frontier.
  2. Prioritize modular architectures that use off-the-shelf VLMs for task orchestration.
  3. Expect the first value-positive humanoid deployments in late 2026.

Automating Large Scale Refactors with Parallel Agents - Robert Brennan, AllHands

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Software maintenance is moving from a manual craft to an industrial process. As agents handle the toil of migrations and security, human engineers will focus entirely on high-level system design.
  2. Batch by Dependency. Use the OpenHands SDK to visualize your codebase as a graph and deploy agents to solve the leaf nodes first.
  3. Companies that master agent orchestration will clear their tech debt backlogs in weeks instead of years, creating a massive competitive advantage in product velocity.

DSPy: The End of Prompt Engineering - Kevin Madura, AlixPartners

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Trend: Software is moving from imperative instructions to declarative goals.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Port your most expensive GPT-4 prompts to DSPy signatures and run them through a BootstrapFewShot optimizer.
  3. The Bottom Line: Brittle prompts are the new technical debt. Building with a declarative framework ensures your system improves as models get cheaper.

Spec-Driven Development: Sharpening your AI toolbox - Al Harris, Amazon Kiro

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. We are moving from probabilistic prompting to neurosymbolic reasoning where the LLM is a component of a larger structured system.
  2. Install MCP servers for your specific documentation and task trackers. Ground your agent in reality to reduce the manual verification loop.
  3. Engineering rigor is returning to the AI era. Builders who adopt structured workflows will outpace those stuck in the "prompt and pray" cycle.

AI, markets, and power: A conversation with Paul Krugman

Azeem Azhar

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Capital is replacing labor as the primary driver of productivity.
  2. Prioritize investments in incumbents with massive distribution or lean startups that swap payroll for compute.
  3. The US remains the primary engine of growth but the internal divide between tech hubs and the hinterland will widen as AI concentrates wealth.

Artificial Analysis: The Independent LLM Analysis House — with George Cameron and Micah Hill-Smith

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The decoupling of parameter count from active compute via sparsity means intelligence is becoming a software optimization problem as much as a hardware one.
  2. Audit your agentic workflows for turn efficiency rather than just cost per token.
  3. In a world of infinite tokens, the winner is the one who can verify the truth the fastest.

Can Worldcoin Fix The Internet's 99% Bot Problem?

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Proof-of-Human is Becoming Non-Negotiable. The internet is on a trajectory where >99% of activity will be AI-driven, making sybil-resistant "proof of human" a fundamental infrastructure layer, not a niche feature.
  2. Hardware is the Moat. Worldcoin bets that a specialized, secure hardware device (the Orb) is the only method resilient enough against sophisticated AI to scale a global human network, a concept crypto pioneer Hal Finney foresaw.
  3. A New GTM: Web3 Incentives, Web2 Integrations. Worldcoin’s strategy blends token airdrops to bootstrap its network (14M+ verified users) with integrations into mainstream apps (social, dating, gaming) to drive long-term, real-world utility.

Market Melt-Up! Pump ICO! w/ Alex Good & Santiago Santos

Steady Lads Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Fiscal, Not Fed:** This melt-up is fueled by government spending, not central bank easing. Expect momentum to push assets higher before a sharp, painful correction. Have your exit plan ready.
  2. **Trade the Politics:** The cleanest narrative trade isn’t just Bitcoin; it’s politically reflexive “hated” coins (like XRP) that benefit from deregulation and have built-in, retail-heavy communities.
  3. **Beware the Treasury Trap:** Publicly traded crypto treasury companies are an attention game designed to prey on retail liquidity. While you can dance while the music plays, know that the exit door is small.

Hash Rate - Ep 121 - James Altucher TAOx

Hash Rate pod - Bitcoin, AI, DePIN, DeFi

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Escape Velocity Reached: Like the early internet and Bitcoin, BitTensor has survived its infancy. Its ecosystem of 128+ subnets has created a network-effect moat that makes it incredibly difficult to disrupt.
  2. The "Front Door" Is the Next Billion-Dollar Opportunity: The most significant hurdle for BitTensor is its developer-focused user experience. The companies that successfully build simple, consumer-friendly interfaces on top of the subnets will unlock immense value.
  3. Powerful Tokenomics Signal a Supply Shock: TAO's upcoming halving, combined with its built-in utility and high staking rate, is creating a classic supply squeeze. With demand structurally increasing as the network grows, the economics point toward a significant price appreciation for the root token.

The Great Ponzi-fication Of Markets | Weekly Roundup

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Game Is Rigged, Play Accordingly. Traditional analysis is failing. The winning strategy is "grift arbitrage"—investing in assets that benefit from government spending and political connections.
  2. Bonds are Dead, Long Live Yield. With governments committed to fiscal dominance, bonds offer negative real returns. The hunt for yield is driving capital from fiat junk bonds into Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  3. Hedge for the Inevitable Shakeup. The system is fragile. Key risks like aggressive tariffs or a hawkish Bank of Japan could trigger a sharp sell-off. With volatility low, now is the time to buy cheap protection.

Treasury Vehicles, Crypto Bills, 401Ks, and Retail Runups

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Treasury Vehicles are a Trap. They're the new high-risk, high-reward play, but the danger isn't debt—it's massive shareholder dilution and a rapid, reflexive unwind that will be far quicker and more brutal than Grayscale's.
  2. The Cycle Isn't Dead, It's Rhyming. The market is replaying the classic playbook: BTC runs, ETH surges, and capital spills into retail-favorite alts. Calling a top is a fool's errand, but the exuberance is palpable.
  3. Regulation is a Double-Edged Sword. New laws provide a path for tokens to become commodities but may incentivize projects to launch chains purely for regulatory arbitrage, adding another layer of complexity to the market.

Ethereum’s Comeback, PumpFun’s ICO, and Crypto’s Regulatory Shift | Roundup

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Ethereum's revival is structural, not speculative.** Unprecedented ETF and corporate treasury inflows are creating sustained buying pressure that could push ETH to $10K and beyond, rendering past cynicism obsolete.
  2. **Regulation is the unlock for institutional crypto.** The Clarity and Genius Acts are not just rules; they are the green light for institutional capital that has been waiting on the sidelines for legal certainty.
  3. **The future of consumer crypto is weird and profitable.** Platforms like Pump.fun prove that the most powerful business models may not fit traditional molds but will win by tapping into raw, unfiltered user demand.
