#Agent

Tobi Lütke on the AI agent revolution and future of Shopify @tobi on where agent commerce is headed, sci-fi becoming reality, and his GPU wine cellar. Why did Amazon block Meta's Muse but Shopify welcomed it? I sit down with Tobi in Toronto to discuss why the companies are taking different approaches to agents and how shopping changes when AI starts buying things on your behalf. He explains the early AI shopping behavior he’s seeing. We also get into why he thinks AI makes starting a business easier, the backlash against the technology, and why everyone will eventually have to embrace it to get ahead in their careers. We get into how AI agents will make money, who pays when they handle a purchase, and why advertising gets complicated when your assistant is supposed to work for you. We discuss his experience on Meta’s board and working with Mark Zuckerberg. Lütke also shares why he turned his wine cellar into a GPU server rack and how he uses his personal AI agent that runs entirely from his house. This is one of my favorite pods I've ever done.

Cold calling isn’t dead. And that’s why today, we’re launching Unify Dialer. Sellers have already placed 112K+ calls with it. → Prospect, sequence, and dial in one place. → Move faster through your call list with Power Dialer, with the research done before you dial. → Reach more buyers with 34% more reachable numbers than Apollo and 66% more than ZoomInfo in our benchmark. 60% of reps book a meeting within their first hour of dialing on Unify. Who better to pick up the phone than the wolf of insurance himself, Juliano Massarelli? 👇🏻 Try it here: https://www.unifygtm.com/dialer?utm_source=x&utm_medium=austin&utm_campaign=dialer-launch

How Sundar Pichai uses AI to run Google: "I have agents running internally for me... There are all these chat groups: pre-training, mid-training, post-training data, etc. It could easily take me an hour a day to catch up on what's happened in the last 24 hours, but now I have agents running that summarize and bring that information to me. I can still go deeper, and I do so often. Similarly, there are agents with telemetry into our compute usage, product areas, efficiency, and utilization, and they are giving me inputs and insights."

Today, @JudgmentLabs opens for general access. We believe long running agent systems will generate more exhaust data than the world can currently process. Hidden within agent traces are rich records of how to make these systems better: what users ask for, when agents stumble, and how agents interact with the external world. Judgment is the most performant monitoring and improvement layer for long-horizon agents. We’re excited to see what you build!

GPT-6.1 Terra：以更低的价格提供快速且强大的计算机使用能力。 GPT-6.1 Terra 能理解屏幕上的内容，跨应用执行操作，写作自然流畅，是一个能胜任你整个工作日的更强大模型，并具备承担更多工作的效率。

The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.

Sundar Pichai 谈 Gemini 4 与 AI 算力紧缺 即便是 Google 也拿不到足够的算力。在 Gemini 4 Argon 更广泛发布后不久，我与 Google 和 Alphabet CEO @sundarpichai 坐下来聊了聊它的早期反响、他仍希望模型改进的地方，以及要让 Google 保持在 AI 前沿需要付出什么。 Pichai 解释了 Google DeepMind 近期的领导层变动，以及为什么构建前沿模型已成为一份“全身心投入”的工作。我们还谈到了 Google 对个人智能体竞赛的回应、他如何预测 Gemini 将替你完成更多工作，以及智能体最终是否会把 Search、Gmail 和 Gemini 整合到一起。 我问他 Google 自由现金流转为负值、AI 基础设施建设中的风险，以及他如何在还不知道模型将具备何种能力的数年前就规划需求。他解释了让他有信心继续投入的信号，以及他如何使用 AI 智能体来跟踪 Google 内部的模型开发和算力使用情况。 时间戳： 00:00 Gemini Argon 发布反响 01:49 模型访问与安全 06:20 AI 模型竞赛 08:35 智能体突破与 2027 年 11:34 递归自我改进 15:41 DeepMind 领导层变动 19:52 Google 的 AI 算力投资 25:20 AI 支出可持续吗？ 33:18 Sundar 如何使用 AI 智能体 35:35 Gemini 的个人智能体计划 38:37 AI 智能体如何改变网络 43:52 Google 的太空数据中心 47:38 Waymo 的扩张战略 50:26 Wing 的无人机配送计划 51:36 AI 安全与监管 55:58 Google 的量子计算押注 YouTube：https://youtu.be/fJBSNEFdm8c Spotify：https://open.spotify.com/episode/0cJBqmVz3CWJSPdmBOeJGu?si=NBxJIMhZRgikafPtwY0sZA Substack：https://sources.news/p/sundar-pichai-gemini-4-google-other-bets Apple Podcasts：https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sundar-pichai-on-gemini-4-and-the-ai-compute-crunch/id1840154537?i=1000797461022 本期节目的呈现赞助商是 @hyperagentapp。感谢节目的首席赞助商：@Atlassian、@meetgranola 和 @mercury。
