What building Tesla's autopilot chips taught Cognition's President about AI
Russell Kaplan shares a story from his time on Tesla's autopilot team: stripping unnecessary operations like division out of custom inference chips, and why he expects the same kind of hardware specialization to reshape AI inference. This clip is from Max Agency, a podcast about how the best AI agents are actually being built. Hosted by Harrison Chase, CEO of LangChain, each episode goes deep with the builders designing, deploying, and learning from real agent systems in the wild. From architecture decisions to evals, tooling, and failure modes, Max Agency is for people who want to understand what it really takes to build useful agents. #AIinference #ChipDesign #MaxAgency
