Hugo Bowne is hosting an upcoming live conversation with independent AI researcher Sebastian Raschka, whose book Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch) is drawing attention.
- Raschka’s newsletter Ahead of AI has just crossed 200,000 subscribers.
- They plan to discuss recent open-weight model releases, including DeepSeek-V4, GLM-5.2, Kimi K3, and the imminent Qwen3.8.
- The conversation will focus on what these models are doing differently, what stronger open models mean for local coding agents, and which parts of agent systems will survive the next model release.
- Raschka will also talk about how he built up a small Qwen3 model with evaluation, inference-time scaling, reinforcement learning, and distillation.
- The post includes a live registration link and mentions five ebook giveaways plus a 45% audience discount.
