A conversation between host Krish and guest ⁠Sam Sammane⁠, founder and CEO of ⁠Quantum General Intelligence⁠ (QGI) and author of The Singularity of Hope.

Sammane brings an unusual vantage point to the discussion: two decades in symbolic AI and automated theorem proving in the late 1990s, followed by a career in mergers and acquisitions, before returning to AI full time in 2022. Across the conversation, Krish and Sammane cover the real gap between frontier and open-source model performance, the economics and security tradeoffs of Chinese open-weight models, why coding and agentic workloads call for different tools, and the growing business and national case for private, sovereign, and deterministic AI infrastructure that companies and governments own outright rather than rent.
