Episode description as stored
Recorded live at the Ai4 Podcast Pavilion , Sam wraps Day One with Aditya Grover, Co-Founder & CTO of Inception , on why the next generation of LLMs won't look anything like the ones we use today. What's Covered: "Every Millisecond Matters" — Why latency, not intelligence, is the real bottleneck holding back voice agents and multi-step AI agents alike. How Mercury Actually Generates Text — Instead of predicting one token at a time like every autoregressive model, Mercury generates a rough draft of the full response and refines it into coherence — diffusion, applied to language instead of images. Solving Voice AI's Impossible Tradeoff — Fast-but-lower-quality, or high-quality-but-too-slow: Aditya explains how Mercury 2 finally delivers both. A Term Coined Live at This Conference — From Aditya's own Ai4 keynote: "We're moving from token maxing to value maxing." Advice for the Next Generation — Ten-plus years into AI research, Aditya's honest take on why this is still the best time to pursue a PhD, join a startup, or do both. The Next 5-10 Years of Voice AI — A prediction for a future where voice becomes humans' predominant mode of interacting with AI, the same way it is with each other. Key Quote: "Sequential generation is not a law of nature... AI can have a different way of generation, one that's more parallelizable."
