From the ThursdAI podcast at AI Engineer summit:
- Cloudflare's 'neo lab': Michelle Chen explains the rebrand — 4 model releases in 3 weeks, including the Apache 2.0 Clef decision models and Clairic, an extraction model that returns confidence scores. Plus the anecdote of flying GPUs around the world in suitcases.
- Software factories, the AIE theme: Kent C. Dodds notes it's not new — "the workers on the floor used to be humans"; Warp's Zach Lloyd defines it as a code-defined closed loop that measures and improves coding agents.
