    Inference startup Inferact lands $150M

    AI startups aren’t winning by training bigger models anymore — they’re winning by making inference cheaper, faster, and scalable. In this episode of AI Daily, we break down why an inference startup reportedly raised $150M at an ~$800M valuation before shipping a product, what vLLM and PagedAttention actually do under the hood, and why inference is becoming the real bottleneck (and opportunity) in AI infrastructure. This isn’t a funding hype story. It’s an infrastructure story — and one every team deploying AI in production needs to understand. ⏱️ Episode Timeline 00:32 - Intro 00:53 - The Inference Cost Crisis 05:29 - How vLLM Actually Works 10:01 - Open Source, Moats, and the Business Model 15:13 - News 17:32 - Outro 🧠 Key Takeaways • Inference cost, not training, is the limiting factor for many AI products • vLLM’s memory model changes GPU utilization economics • Open-source infrastructure can support massive valuations — if paired with enterprise features • Platform and infra teams that master inference will have a structural advantage If you’re building, deploying, or scaling AI systems in production, this episode is for you.

    AI Safety Report - 7 Frontier Models Tested

    Seven AI models including GPT-5.2, Gemini 3 Pro, and Qwen3-VL were put through rigorous safety testing. The results reveal a "sharply heterogeneous safety landscape" where models that look safe on benchmarks fail under adversarial conditions. Key findings: - GPT-5.2 showed consistent performance but still dropped 20 points under adversarial testing - Doubao 1.8 went from 94% to 52% safety compliance under attack - Multilingual safety varies dramatically - models fail in low-resource languages - Text-to-image models vulnerable to "semantic ambiguity attacks" What should engineering teams do? Build your own evaluation framework, implement ensemble approaches, and never trust vendor safety claims alone. 📰 Today's Headlines: - OpenAI and Anthropic targeting healthcare AI - ChatGPT struggles with personalization - Ads coming to ChatGPT free tier Subscribe for daily AI updates! #AI #MachineLearning #AISafety #GPT5 #Gemini #LLM
