This post previews the weekly exclusive interview segment of the Superintelligence newsletter, highlighting two key topics from recent episodes:
- Ahmed Awadallah from Microsoft Research AI Frontiers discussed small on-device agents, emphasizing they can compete head-on with large models on certain tasks.
- Phil Gurbacki from Weights & Biases (CoreWeave) introduced a research agent that reads experiment results and automatically triggers the next training round.
Overall, this points to two trends: improving capabilities of small on-device agents and automated orchestration in research and training workflows.
