In this episode, Cooper sits down with Neurometric CEO, Rob May, to talk through a big-news month: the show's rebrand from Inference Time Tactics to Token Engineering, the launch of tokenminning.com as a response to the "tokenmaxxing" trend, Neurometric's new token engineering platform and fundrais…
In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Cooper sits down with Yash Sharma, Head of AI Research at Neurometric AI, to break down the Pioneer Agent paper from Fastino Labs—a system that uses Claude Sonnet as an ML engineer in a box to build and improve small language models end-to-end. From cold s…
In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Cooper sits down with Fletcher Wimbush, CEO of Discovered AI, to get into what’s actually broken about hiring—and how 13 years of bootstrapped recruiting, 10,000 interviews, and four peer-reviewed journal articles became the foundation for a platform now o…
Every day billions of voice conversations happen across games, customer service calls, and financial transactions. Almost none of them are understood by machines. In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Calvin Cooper and Yash Sharma sit down with Carter Huffman, CTO and co founder of Modulate, t…
In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Cooper and Byron sit down with Charlie and Anil from Rapt AI to tackle one of the industry's most expensive problems: GPU underutilization. With half a trillion dollars invested in GPU infrastructure running at just 20-30% utilization, Rapt AI is building …
In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Rob, Cooper, and Byron sit down with Shawn Rogers, CEO of BARC US to unpack fresh data from 421 organizations actively deploying AI in production. Shawn shares what separates the 20% of AI leaders from everyone else, why cost surprises are hitting harder t…
In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Cooper and Byron break down NeuroMetric's Thinking Algorithm Leaderboard and what it reveals about building production-ready AI agents. They share why prompt engineering with a single model won't cut it for enterprise use cases, explore the impact of infer…
In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Rob and Cooper from Neurometric sit down with Yash Sharma, an AI researcher whose work is reshaping how we understand model generalization. Yash recently completed his PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and has held research roles at G…
In this episode of Inference Time Tactics, Rob, Cooper, and Byron sit down with Prashanth Velidandi, co-founder of InferX, to explore how serverless inference is tackling the AI “cold start problem.” They dig into why 90% of the model lifecycle happens at inference—not training—and how cold starts …
