Computer Engineering podcasts

Gaute Einevoll and Mihai Petrovici discuss how neuromorphic hardware can support artificial intelligence and efficient brain simulation. They contrast high-frequency arithmetic on conventional silicon with the rich dynamics and millisecond spikes of biological neurons, and explore brain-inspired systems for emulating neural dynamics and studying computation in spiking networks. Petrovici is a senior researcher at the University of Bern. The conversation was recorded on 18 June 2026 and released on 23 September 2026; the publisher’s audio runs 1 hour, 41 minutes and 46 seconds.

Fireworks AI co-founder Benny Chen explains the infrastructure required to serve machine-learning models at scale, from GPU procurement and kernels to runtimes and request routing. He discusses power constraints, hardware utilization, mixture-of-experts models, quantization, reinforcement-learning efficiency and speculative decoding. The conversation also covers distributed training across data centres, sparse autoencoders, the constraints on open-source interpretability research, and the relationship between open models and compute availability. Hosted by Ravid Shwartz Ziv and Allen Roush; the full conversation is available on YouTube.
