  • Interviewing Andrew Carr of Cartwheel on the State of Generative AI
    Oct 31 2024
    Andrew Carr is co-founder and chief scientist at Cartwheel, where he is building text-to-motion AI models and products for gaming, film, and other creative endeavors. We discuss how to keep generative AI fun and expansive — niche powerful use-cases, AI poetry, AI devices like Meta RayBans, generalization to new domains like robotics, and building successful AI research cultures.Andrew is one of my well read friends on the directions AI is going, so it is great to bring him in for an official conversation. He spent time at OpenAI working on Codex, Gretel AI, and is an editor for the TLDR AI Newsletter.Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and where ever you get your podcasts.

    Chapters

    00:00 Claude's agentic future and the current state of the frontier models

    04:43 The state of the frontier models

    04:49 1. Anthropic has the best model we are accustomed to using

    05:27 Google has the best small & cheap model for building automation and basic AI engineering

    08:07 OpenAI has the best model for reasoning, but we don’t know how to use it

    09:12 All of the laboratories have much larger models they’re figuring out how to release (and use)

    10:42 Who wins?
