AI Engineer host swyx says his channel now averages 2-10 real technical videos per day, calling it probably the highest-volume A/B testing operation in tech YouTube, and asks fellow creators for theories and tooling on what "next level" looks like.
An attached dashboard shows 30-second retention across the last 365 days: the AI Security Engineer Foundations talk leads at 97%, with ontology and coding-agent sandbox talks around 60%, while agent-sandbox and Claude Managed Agents sessions sit at 31-36%.
