LlamaCon, Qwen3, DeepSeek-R2 rumors and JP Morgan’s open letter on AI

We are celebrating MoE podcast’s one year anniversary! In episode 53 of
Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by the O.G. panel of
experts from our pilot—Chris Hay, Shobhit Varshney and Kush Varshney.
This week, we cover some exciting announcements at LlamaCon. Then, we
discuss some new Chinese AI models from Qwen3 to the rumored
DeepSeek-R2. Next, J.P. Morgan’s CISO, Patrick Opet, released “An open
letter to our third-party suppliers,” covering the need for AI security.
Are we doomed? Finally, we look back at some of the topics we discussed
in episode 1—the Rabbit AI device, GPT-2 chatbot, Apple
Intelligence—after all that, who was the first person to say “agents” on
the podcast? Tune in to find out, on today’s one-year celebration of
Mixture of Experts.
