    Physics Simulation for Chip Design Used to Take Days. This AI Does It in Seconds.

    This week we sat down with Hardik Kabaria, co-founder and CEO of Vinci, to demo the AI platform making physics simulation accessible to any engineer building hardware. A chip tape-out used to cost millions of dollars and take months. Thermal analysis that should take seconds was waiting days for a specialist with a PhD. Vinci is compressing all of that into minutes — and making it accessible to anyone on the design team, not just the simulation expert.We also got into why AI image and video generation still has not produced a Netflix movie, what has to change before it does, and how AI getting into hardware design raises the stakes around IP and watermarking in ways nobody is talking about yet. We cover: What Vinci does — making physics simulation accessible to anyone building hardware Why a chip tape-out costs millions and takes months and how AI is compressing that cycle How Vinci lets engineers get thermal and physics answers in seconds instead of days The existing workflow — designers, performance evaluators, and manufacturers rarely even work in the same team How simulation software went from requiring PhDs to something any engineer can access The digital twin concept — running physics experiments in software before touching physical prototypes Why the semiconductor and data center cooling market is the starting point News — AI image and video generation still has not crossed the quality schism Why there are no AI-generated movies on Netflix yet even though the models exist How AI getting into hardware design changes the stakes around IP and watermarking The parallel between language models democratizing reasoning and physics models democratizing simulation If you are building hardware, working in semiconductors, or want to understand where AI is going beyond software, this episode is for you.

    A Ten Minute Phone Video Replaces Hours of Home Inspections. We Demo the AI Doing It.

    This week we sit down with Zach Rattner, CTO and co-founder of Yembo, to demo the computer vision platform that turns a ten minute phone walkthrough into a full home inventory, 3D model, and floor plan. Deployed in 35 countries, running thousands of inspections every day for moving companies and property insurers — and the end user never even knows AI is involved. We also dig into Claude Fable 5 being pulled without coding access, the 25,000 Chinese accounts exploiting the model, and whether AI has finally entered its regulatory adolescence. We cover: What Yembo does — computer vision that deeply understands the interior of homesHow a ten minute phone video replaces a 60 to 90 minute in-home inspectionThe visual inventory — color coded, numbered, time stamped photos of every itemWhy the real AI opportunity is doing what was previously impossible, not just fasterHow Yembo embedded AI in a workflow where the end user never knows it existsThe insurance use case — 3D model and floor plan from a single video walkthroughWhy 30 percent of their patents are on guiding the camera capture without any trainingClaude Fable 5 pulled and reinstated without coding access — what it means for developersAI reaching regulatory adolescence and whether the framework arrives in time25,000 Chinese accounts exploiting the model and the KYC failure behind it If you are building with AI, working in insurance or logistics, or want an honest take on what happens when regulators start touching frontier models, this episode is for you.

    The Code Running Your Plane Was Written Decades Ago. This Startup Proves It Still Works.

    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, Jony Ive at OpenAI, and where AI hardware interfaces are really heading. We cover: What Code Metal does and why provably correct code mattersThe legacy code problem running mission critical infrastructure right nowWhy testing is not enough and what formal methods actually proveHow AI finally made formal verification scalable after 50 yearsThe Tesla over-the-air update analogy for code-to-hardware deploymentWhich industries Code Metal is built for and whyWhy vibe coding works for apps but terrifies Ryan for aerospace and defenseWhat brought Ryan from running Tableau at Salesforce to a code verification startupMeta Ray-Ban glasses — price drop, Kylie Jenner, and the veteran use caseJony Ive at OpenAI and what the mystery hardware device might beWhy every AI interface is converging on the same form factor If you build software, work in hardware, or want to understand the infrastructure layer AI is about to touch, this episode is for you.
