He explains that existing AI models are too large to run in browsers, preventing in-browser PII removal, and emphasizes that Ramparts is open-source, with weights available on Hugging Face, enabling technical users to create custom applications. Gorberstein highlights the studio's mission to improve the American digital experience by developing user-centric software, citing previous successes like Trumper X, which saved users over $500 million in drug costs. 01:02:29 𝕏 Timeline Reactions 01:07:52 Chad Rigetti, founder of Rigetti Computing, discusses his journey from developing quantum computing at IBM to establishing his own company, which went public in 2022. He highlights the importance of integrating quantum technologies into data centers to enhance AI capabilities, emphasizing the need for a multimodal approach to quantum hardware. Rigetti also addresses the challenges of transitioning from private to public markets and the significance of long-term strategic planning in the evolving quantum computing landscape. 01:33:18 Pim de Witte, CEO of General Intuition, discusses the company's unique approach to AI development by leveraging extensive datasets of action-labeled video game footage to train models capable of spatial-temporal reasoning. 01:41:15 Yadin Sofer, co-founder and CEO of Tracer, discusses the company's emergence from stealth with the launch of a subterranean defense technology firm. He highlights the challenges of underground operations, such as unpredictable geology, and emphasizes the importance of small-diameter, long-length designs for efficiency. 01:47:28 Jack Morris, co-founder and head of research at Engram, discusses the company's recent emergence from stealth with $98 million in funding from investors like General Catalyst, Kleiner Perkins, and Sequoia. Engram focuses on developing AI systems that enhance human intelligence by creating models capable of understanding users' unique contexts and workflows, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs. Early enterprise partners include Microsoft, Notion, and Harvey, who benefit from these AI solutions that adapt to specific organizational needs. 01:52:39 Neil Movva, co-founder and CEO of Sail Research, discusses his company's focus on building the most efficient inference systems for AI agents that operate autonomously over extended periods. He highlights their commitment to open-source models, such as GLM 5.2, and emphasizes the importance of optimizing the entire stack—from hardware to API—to enhance efficiency. 01:59:10 Jakob Diepenbrock, the 22-year-old General Partner of Discipulus Ventures, recently closed a $30 million fund targeting early-stage investments in defense-tech, energy, mining, manufacturing, and other critical industries. In the conversation, he discusses the firm's strategy of securing significant ownership in startups at low valuations by being the first investor, often assisting with company incorporation and subsequent fundraising. 02:07:28 Chris Altchek is the founder and CEO of Cadence, a health technology company that partners with major health systems to provide remote patient monitoring and management for chronic conditions. In the conversation, Altchek discusses Cadence's recent $100 million Series C funding, the company's rapid progress in automating chronic disease treatment, and the significant impact their technology has had on patient outcomes, including preventing strokes and heart attacks through real-time monitoring and intervention. 02:19:16 𝕏 Timeline Reactions TBPN is made possible by: Ramp - https://ramp.com Public - https://public.com Cisco - https://www.cisco.com Console - https://www.console.com CrowdStrike - https://www.crowdstrike.com Figma - https://www.figma.com MongoDB - https://www.mongodb.com NYSE - https://www.nyse.com Railway - https://railway.com Shopify - https://www.shopify.com/ Codex - http://openAI.com/codex Follow TBPN:  https://TBPN.com https://x.com/tbpn https://open.spotify.com/show/2L6WMqY3GUPCGBD0dX6p00?si=674252d53acf4231 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tbpn/id1772360235 https://www.youtube.com/@TBPNLive
