- StandardSummaries onlyHow Capital One Delivers Multi-Agent Systems with Rashmi Shetty
Published Apr 16, 2026
Rashmi ShettyIn this episode, Rashmi Shetty, senior director of enterprise generative AI platform at Capital One, joins us to explore how the company is designing, deploying, and scaling multi-agent systems in a highly regulated environment. Rashmi walks us through Chat Concierge, a multi-agent chat experience for auto dealerships that handles intent disambiguation, tool invocation, and human handoffs to deliver safer, more personalized customer journeys. We discuss Capital One’s platform-centric approach to
- StandardSummaries onlyWhy Vision Language Models Ignore What They See with Munawar Hayat
Published Dec 9, 2025
Munawar HayatIn this episode, we’re joined by Munawar Hayat, researcher at Qualcomm AI Research, to discuss a series of papers presented at NeurIPS 2025 focusing on multimodal and generative AI. We dive into the persistent challenge of object hallucination in Vision-Language Models (VLMs), why models often discard visual information in favor of pre-trained language priors, and how his team used attention-guided alignment to enforce better visual grounding. We also explore a novel approach to generalized cont
- StandardSummaries onlyHigh-Efficiency Diffusion Models for On-Device Image Generation and Editing with Hung Bui
Published Oct 28, 2025
Hung BuiIn this episode, Hung Bui, Technology Vice President at Qualcomm, joins us to explore the latest high-efficiency techniques for running generative AI, particularly diffusion models, on-device. We dive deep into the technical challenges of deploying these models, which are powerful but computationally expensive due to their iterative sampling process. Hung details his team's work on SwiftBrush and SwiftEdit, which enable high-quality text-to-image generation and editing in a single inference step
- StandardSummaries onlyClosing the Loop Between AI Training and Inference with Lin Qiao
Published Aug 12, 2025
Lin QiaoIn this episode, we're joined by Lin Qiao, CEO and co-founder of Fireworks AI. Drawing on key lessons from her time building PyTorch, Lin shares her perspective on the modern generative AI development lifecycle. She explains why aligning training and inference systems is essential for creating a seamless, fast-moving production pipeline, preventing the friction that often stalls deployment. We explore the strategic shift from treating models as commodities to viewing them as core product assets.
