SUMMARY: With @bwhichard, we dig into how daily work-life changes when you make @AnthropicAI @claudeai the center of all workflow activities. SHOW: 1013SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Reasoning Show #1013 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/zEmEH0t67jsSHOW SPONSORS:VENTION - Ready for expert developers who actually deliver?Visit ventionteams.comSHOW NOTES:Topic 1 - How long have you been living the Claude-life, and when did it dawn on you to make this central to your day-to-day activities? Topic 2 - What were the biggest hurdles you had to overcome before you trusted the system and started letting it have ownership over tasks and workflows?Topic 3 - What are some of your best practices in terms of machine setup, how or where you store data, how you decide what to give it access to? Walk me through your thoughts around things like keeping things simple, where to be complex, how you think about security, etc.Topic 4 - How are you learning to give it more responsibilities, or just figure out new ways to be productive with it? Good resources you’re pulling from? Any tips to make it use less tokens?Skills marketplaces?Topic 5 - What have been some of the biggest barriers to successful adoption, or just areas where you’re still struggling to get it to do the things you want? Or are you still in the learning curve stage and things just keep growing on one another?Topic 6 - If you took the knowledge and skills you have now in Claude-life into your day-job, how do you see yourself working, as well as working with the rest of your team/teams? Would it bother you if you didn’t think they were using AI tools as much? FEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

SUMMARY: We dig into the NVIDIA GTC keynote and highlight three things - accelerated computing for everything, the complexity of the new inference stack, and NVIDIA’s “open” software stack including NemoClaw.SHOW: 1012SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Reasoning Show #1012 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/aXOr91q76yMSHOW SPONSORS:VENTION - Ready for expert developers who actually deliver?Visit ventionteams.comSHOW NOTES:NVIDIA GTC 2026 (Keynote)NVIDIA NemoClaw - OpenClaw + OpenShell + NVIDIA Agent ToolkitNVIDIA adds Groq LPU to their rack systemsNVIDIA to invest $26B in Open Weight ModelsInterview with Jensen about Accelerated Computing (Stratechery)Topic 1 - Jensen’s trying to paint the bigger picture of accelerated computing everywhere (robotics, autonomous driving, gen-ai, physical ai - but also just everyday enterprise apps). Everything is about keeping the stock price up, and margins high. The stock price provides the warchest to fight off all foes. Topic 2 - The inference architecture is a complex mix of GPUs, CPUs, ASICs/LPUs, high-speed networking and seems very different from the training architecture. How big is the burden on data center providers? What are the inference alternatives emerging? Topic 3 - Jensen talked a lot about OpenClaw and eventually about NVIDIA’s NemoClaw. How does his interest in Agentic AI tie into his interest in building NVIDIA’s own frontier modelFEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

SUMMARY: Morgan Foster talks about the Kagenti project, which enables an AI Agent agnostic framework for security, authentication, identity and zero-trust.SHOW: 1011SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Reasoning Show #1011 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/djFZruLEDiwSHOW NOTES:Kagenti (homepage)Kagenti (use-cases)“Old Things that look like Agents”“What makes Agents different?”CNV - What Makes Agents Different?“Handing your phone to a stranger, why Agents need their own identity”Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background and areas you focus on today. Topic 2 - Tell us a bit about the Kagenti project and the types of challenges it’s trying to solve for Agentic AI deployments. Topic 3 - How much commonality exists between different Agentic frameworks that a common, agnostic agentic orchestration approach can work? And how much difference still exists and would drive companies to silo’d deployments? Topic 4 - How far should an Agentic Orchestration framework go, and what types of things do you expect will still be Agentic framework dependent? Is Kagenti more of a control-plane element, or more of a data-plane element? Topic 5 - As Kagenti evolves, what are some of the adjacent things that people should be keeping an eye on that might be a dependency, or could shift the direction of the project?FEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

SUMMARY: Sally O’Malley (Principle Software Engineer @RedHat, Maintainter @OpenClaw) talks about her early experiences of immersing herself into OpenClaw and evolution of the OpenClaw community.SHOW: 1009SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Reasoning Show #1009 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/7xARBtgiMQgSPONSORS:VENTION - Ready for expert developers who actually deliver?Visit ventionteams.comSHOW NOTES:OpenClaw - Personal AI AssistantOpenClaw - RedditOpenClaw, OpenAI and the Future (Peter Steinberger - OpenClaw creator)OpenClaw Foundation (coming soon)Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about your background in software engineering. Topic 2 - You recently jumped into the deep end of the pool with OpenClaw. Tell us about the week of immersion with this new technology. What did you go into it thinking about?What did you learn, what did you create?What new sorts of things did you have to try?Topic 2a - For anyone that’s new to OpenClaw, can you give us the basics of what OpenClaw does?Topic 3 - You mentioned that this is a very different (or completely different) paradigm of how software is created. Can you walk us through the differences, your observations, how you had to really rethink things that you did before and after?Topic 4 - In your day job, you’re focused on software that’s used by large enterprises that have to be concerned with security and stability, as much as they do innovation. How do you see the existing OpenClaw fitting into that world? How do you expect that OpenClaw might need to change?How do you expect that enterprises might need to change to adapt to this new capability that might be unleashed with their employees?Topic 5 - You (very) recently were accepted as a committer to the OpenClaw project. I know it’s only been a few days, but what is opening your eyes about how this community operates, especially in comparison to other open projects you’ve worked on? We could probably have an entire podcast on AI development in open communities.FEEDBACK?Email: show @ reasoning dot showBluesky: @reasoningshow.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @ReasoningShowInstagram: @reasoningshowTikTok: @reasoningshow

What types of architectural changes did you have to make for this new type of workload? And how do those impact the quality of the services your customers expect from Crusoe?Topic 5 - Is your focus more on environments to enable model training and customization, or more focus on inference for customer-facing applications? Topic 6 - A lot has changed in AI in the last couple years. What has changed the most in the last couple years, and what are you expecting to change the most over the next couple years? Topic 7 - Sovereign AI and Private AI have become much bigger topics over the last 12-18 months, and we’d expect that to grow.
