So, think about what you might 1:44 want to chat about, or maybe you want to 1:46 come up on stage and have a chit-chat. 1:48 We can do that. 1:49 >> [music] 1:56 [music] 2:02 [music] 2:05 >> I had my my agent Adam went a little 2:07 haywire today. 2:09 >> [laughter] 2:11 >> I don't know if you saw this producer 2:12 Brandon, but uh 2:15 Adam, so Adam somehow got Oh, I know 2:17 what happened. There were There was one 2:19 setting in system preferences 2:22 that every time node.js wanted to do 2:25 something, it popped up a dialogue box 2:27 that said, "You need to approve access." 2:31 Um and so it would hang the machine. And 2:33 so whenever the machine was hung, 2:36 he couldn't do his thing. And so 2:38 he missed doing his daily email for like 2:40 4 days in a row. And I So I finally 2:42 fixed the little problem. 2:44 And 2:45 so I said, "Go write the emails that you 2:48 didn't write." And so he 2:51 he went and he sent one email and it 2:53 just had a URL in it. It didn't have any 2:55 content in it. And I said, "Hey, you 2:57 didn't do that right. It just had a 2:58 URL." 2:59 And then he sent four more emails that 3:02 just had URLs in them. I said, "No, you 3:04 didn't do it right. It's got to have the 3:05 HTML in it." 3:06 And then he started sending 3:10 He started sending 3:12 email at like every 30 seconds he would 3:14 send another email. It was the same 3:16 email from Monday that he already sent. 3:18 And he just started sending, sending, 3:20 sending, sending. And I couldn't stop 3:22 it. And I restarted the server a bunch 3:24 of times. And so 3:25 uh so I got to figure out how to stop 3:29 what 3:29 whatever is in his little instruction 3:32 set. 3:33 Uh he is confused. 3:35 >> [laughter] 3:38 >> So welcome to the AI learning lab 3:41 pre-show.

Hot pockets. 8:09 >> [laughter] 8:15 [music] 8:15 >> It has been pointed out to me that most 8:17 of my stick on the AI learning lab is 8:19 basically just 8:21 uh stolen bits from Jim Gaffigan, which 8:24 I will I will fully admit to. 8:27 It is true. 8:28 >> [laughter] 8:30 >> All the voices. 8:31 You know, I went to the AI salon thing, 8:33 the AI learning lab. It was Yeah, it was 8:35 interesting. It was fantastic, you know. 8:38 That's all Jim Gaffigan. 8:40 That's all Jim. So, thank you, Jim, for 8:42 inspiring me to steal from you. 8:50 So, tonight's an ask me anything. What 8:52 are we going to ask? What are we going 8:54 to ask? 8:58 >> [music] 9:04 >> If you missed the AI 9:07 office hours, the AI salon office hours 9:09 today, 9:12 I I I talked about max Q. 9:16 You're like, "Who's max Q?" 9:18 Max Q is a moment. 9:22 Max Q is a moment if you're a rocket 9:24 nerd. Max Q is the moment 9:29 where one of three things happens. 9:33 You're either going fast enough to 9:35 escape the atmosphere, 9:37 then you get you sort of blast through 9:40 our atmosphere and out into space. 9:44 Or 9:46 you're not going fast enough and you 9:47 literally bounce off the atmosphere and 9:50 hurdle back to Earth. 9:53 Or 9:56 your rocket completely disintegrates 9:58 because max Q is the maximum pressure 10:02 intensity on on the rocket. 10:07 And I don't know if you knew this with 10:08 rockets, 10:11 once you light them, you can't unlight 10:14 them. 10:16 They just go. 10:18 >> [laughter] 10:19 [snorts] 10:20 >> Um and so I was talking about max Q on 10:23 the on the AI 10:25 office hours AI Salon office hours 10:27 today. 10:28 And what the hell does that have to do 10:29 with AI? Huh. 10:31 So I could talk about that tonight. So 10:33 10 minutes, we're going to head over to 10:35 the AI Salon 10:37 and we're going to hang out there. It's 10:38 going to be Friday night date night. 10:39 It's an ask me anything. If you want to 10:41 pop up on stage and say hi, I'd love to 10:43 see you. 10:44 Kyle, you were excellent you were you 10:46 were an excellent presenter, so 10:47 authentic and informative.

Thank you so much. 11:31 >> [music] 11:38 [music] 11:48 [music] 11:55 [music] 12:06 [music] 12:09 >> Um 12:12 >> [music] 12:19 [music] 12:25 >> Chef Kelly, AI food tech was just 12:27 talking 12:29 >> [clears throat] 12:29 >> about that with my brother yesterday. 12:32 Can't wait to see what you're doing 12:33 tonight. So, here's the fun thing about 12:35 tonight. What I'm doing tonight is all 12:38 about what y'all asked me. It's an ask 12:40 me anything. It's Friday night date 12:42 night. We go in there, we get liquored 12:45 up. 12:46 Well, some of 12:47 you might. You should. 12:51 Go get liquored up or or have your mix 12:54 yourself up a mocktail. 12:57 I don't know if you saw this, but Gen Z 13:00 alcohol consumption among high school 13:02 students right now is plummeting. 13:04 I think alcohol consumption among high 13:06 school students peaked when I was in 13:08 high school. 13:10 >> [laughter] 13:11 >> I was I likely contributed to that. 13:17 Uh the youngsters just aren't drinking. 13:19 They're just like whatever you people 13:21 have done with the planet and with 13:23 society, 13:25 we're done. 13:27 We don't want your 13:29 We don't want your booze. We don't want 13:30 your cigarettes. We'll vape. 13:32 But only because you made them Kool-Aid 13:34 flavored. 13:36 >> [laughter] 13:41 >> Silver Fox, I beg [laughter] to differ 13:43 on the peak here. 13:47 Um do you have a hardware setup? If so, 13:49 what's the specs? 13:50 It's funny you should ask that. So, if 13:52 you go to the AI Salon, 13:55 um I just I just created an infographic 13:58 that's that's a hardware specs setup. 14:00 It's in the community feed. So, if you 14:02 go to community.thesalon.ai 14:05 or just, you know, click on the link in 14:07 LinkedIn or YouTube or in my profile for 14:10 X or TikTok, 14:13 that'll take you straight into the AI 14:14 Salon right where this live stream is 14:16 going to be in 6 minutes. 14:18 Um this is the pre-show for the AI Salon 14:20 or the AI Learning Lab. 14:23 But in the community feed, I did a post 14:25 that is uh hardware specs for running 14:29 LLMs locally. 14:31 Um and then it's it's not only hardware 14:33 specs for Mac and PC. It also talks 14:35 about why Mac versus PC. It also talks 14:38 about what are the models that you can 14:40 run and why you should run them. 14:43 Um and what they do and what quanti- 14:45 quantization is. All sorts of cool stuff 14:47 in there. So, I just did that today. Um 14:50 my 14:51 um hot rod local machine is a MacBook 14:55 Pro 14:56 M5 Max with 64 gigs of unified RAM. 15:02 John, hey Kyle, it's been a while. How 15:04 have you been? I'm doing good, man. I'm 15:05 doing good. This is the AI Learning Lab 15:07 pre-show. So, we're going live inside 15:09 the AI Salon in 5 minutes. 15:12 The link is in my bio. 15:15 Um or if you're on LinkedIn or YouTube, 15:18 it's in the description. Um 15:21 yeah, so 5 minutes. So, jump on over 15:22 there. Um ask me a question. We can talk 15:24 about whatever. 15:26 Tonight is uh Friday night date night. 15:28 It's a ask me anything night. 15:31 And you can ask me anything. 15:34 I've got opinions on most things. 15:37 I'm not afraid to say if I love 15:39 something or hate it. 15:41 Um 15:42 I hope I'm open to changing my mind if I 15:45 hear good arguments one way or the 15:47 other. 15:49 I tend to be an optimist. 15:51 Um 15:53 More than anything, I tend to be a 15:54 realist. So, there's a lot of people 15:56 like, "We should stop AI." Well, 15:59 no, that's not going to happen. 16:02 So, if that's not going to happen, what 16:03 are we going to do about it? That's 16:04 That's where I like to live. 16:11 >> [music] 16:20 [music] 16:25 >> Wait, do you think the open-source 16:27 models have gotten good to the point 16:31 where it could compete with the current 16:33 frontier models? They're not that good. 16:35 No. 16:36 However, 16:38 I would say So, actually, grab that 16:42 question, Brandon. That's one to That's 16:44 one to pop in there. 16:46 Um 16:50 So, So, I'll answer that question there. 16:51 The short answer is no. 16:53 That like the Mythos model that um 16:57 Anthropic just said is too powerful for 17:00 mere mortals to use. We're just going to 17:01 give it to our 52 friends over here. Um 17:05 that model is a 10 trillion parameter 17:07 model. It's It's massive. 17:10 Um 17:11 the model I can run on my MacBook Pro is 17:14 like a 32 billion parameter model. I 17:16 might be able to run something a little 17:18 bit bigger, but that one's pretty really 17:20 fast and really good. 17:22 If you're just doing things like like 17:25 writing and scheduling and doing things 17:28 like it other than the fact that it kind 17:30 of crapped the bed this week just cuz 17:32 there was a technical glitch in how my 17:33 machine was set up. 17:35 Um 17:36 the quality of what it writes and what's 17:38 it sends out is really good. It's really 17:41 good. So, Qwen 3.6 in particular was 17:45 kind of a step up. Um and and Brent 17:48 Peterson who does this stuff a lot said 17:50 that model was the first model that you 17:53 can realistically run something like 17:55 Open Claw with local inference and it be 17:57 good enough to use. It's fast enough and 17:59 good enough um to actually use. So, so 18:02 we're getting close. 18:04 We're getting close. 18:05 My guess is that within 18:10 2 years 18:11 the models will be so powerful that and 18:14 that you can run locally. You'll still 18:16 have to have probably a 64 gig machine, 18:19 you know, 32's probably a minimum. But I 18:21 would say 64, 128, or higher 18:25 um of unified RAM or or VRAM on a PC um 18:31 then you'll be able to run some some 18:34 quite powerful models. But but we're 18:36 we're at a place where the the things 18:38 are great. Okay, it's 7:28. So, 2 18:40 minutes. We're going to go in live in 18:42 the AI Salon.
