    923: Graph Algorithms, GraphRAG and Causal Graphs, with Graph Guru Amy Hodler
    Sep 16 2025
    Graphs, but not as you would expect them: Graph analytics guru Amy Hodler speaks to Jon Krohn about the graph data structure and graph applications, graph algorithms, graph RAG, and graphs as memory systems for AI agents. We can use graphs in a surprising number of ways. Money laundering and fraud, as well as supply-chain crime, leave breadcrumbs at multiple “touch-points” over time, behaviors that graphs are better suited to reveal than rows and tables. Amy sees that most interest in graphs has been in the cybersecurity space. But this work isn’t only restricted to fighting crime! Listen to the episode to hear more case examples and how to get into graph work. This episode is brought to you by the Dell, by the Intel, by ODSC, the Open Data Science Conference and by Gurobi.

  • 922: AI for Manufacturing and Industry, with Hugo Dozois-Caouette

    922: AI for Manufacturing and Industry, with Hugo Dozois-Caouette
    Sep 12 2025
    Hugo Dozois-Caouette speaks to Jon Krohn about his startup MaintainX and how he secured $100 million in venture capital. MaintainX manages and maintains computerized maintenance management systems (CMSs), or work-execution software, for the industrial and manufacturing industries. This “digitized version of a clipboard” with the help of web and mobile applications, provide a list of procedures, guidelines and regulations to help increase worker productivity and give a company the data-driven insights it needs to refine its processes. Listen to the episode to hear Hugo’s thoughts on the gaps in the manufacturing industry that technology can fill, the tech stack used by MaintainX, and the discrepancy of information in manufacturing environments.

    920: In Case You Missed It in August 2025
    Sep 5 2025
    This month’s episode of In Case You Missed It gives us reasons to be cautiously optimistic about the future of large language models (LLMs), with guests discussing what to do about recent reports that found AI agents blackmailed human users when threatened, the importance of post-training LLMs, and the training we have available for data and AI engineers to create robust, secure, and useful AI. Jon Krohn includes clips from his interviews with Akshay Agrawal (Episode 911), Julien Launay (Episode 913), Michelle Yi (Episode 915), and Kirill Eremenko (Episode 917).

  • 918: Multi-Agent Systems with CrewAI

    918: Multi-Agent Systems with CrewAI
    Aug 29 2025
    In this Five-Minute Friday, Jon Krohn introduces listeners to CrewAI, an open-source Python framework that can create and manage multi-agent teams. The clue is in the title: CrewAI assembles specialized agents into single “crews” that achieve complex goals between them. CrewAI’s agent teams can also learn and iterate, meaning that after the crew has achieved its goals for the first time, they can refine and tailor their approach to future goals.

    916: The 5 Key GPT-5 Takeaways
    Aug 22 2025
    GPT-5 has just been released, but with not very much fanfare. In this Five-Minute Friday, Jon Krohn asks if GPT-5 deserves the community’s underwhelmed response to its release. He outlines five features of the model and explains why people might be feeling less than enthusiastic in the broader context of LLM development. Which LLMs are leading the way, and which are still playing the game of catch-up?
