SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer break down the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry.<\/p>\n
In this episode, Gregor and Sean dig into a wave of \u201crunaway AI\u201d stories, including Anthropic<\/a> and OpenAI <\/a>disclosing that their models accessed outside organizations during cyber evaluations, and Amazon <\/a>reporting a staggering budget overrun blamed on bad agent loops. They explore why most of these incidents trace back to human decisions rather than models breaking free, and the awkward reality that today\u2019s systems can bill you for tokens without reliably counting them.<\/p>\n They also talk about the \u201cKimi moment.\u201d Moonshot AI<\/a>\u2018s open weight model has closed the gap with frontier models like ChatGPT<\/a> and Claude<\/a> at a remarkable pace, and the hosts unpack what it means for open weight strategies and how chip scarcity is pushing Chinese labs to innovate.<\/p>\n As always, the episode wraps up with a few standout Hacker News threads, including a JetBrains test of a \u201ccaveman speak\u201d skill that promised big token savings, how refactoring can cut input token costs, the release of CodePen 2.0, and a build of Doom that renders through SQL queries.<\/p>\n Sponsorship inquiries: \n<\/p> The post SED News: The Kimi Moment, Runaway AI, and Tokenmaxxing<\/a> appeared first on Software Engineering Daily<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer break down the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry.
