Jonathan Siddharth, Co-Founder & CEO of Turing, joins Sourcery to break down how AI training & deployment are changing in 2026.
We cover the shift from training models to pass benchmarks to training agents for real work through RL environments, and why AI agents that can operate for days today could eventually work autonomously for weeks, months and years.
Jonathan explains why open-weight models are now roughly 3–6 months behind the frontier, why enterprises are building their own AI systems, and how companies should think about frontier vs. sovereign AI, model routing, distillation and owning their proprietary learning loops.
“There's absolutely a place in the world for Ferraris & Koenigseggs. But there's also a place in the world for Model Ys.”
We also get into reward hacking, emergent behavior, AI safety, recursive self-improvement, super intelligence (SI) and why Jonathan believes AI will see a slower takeoff over the next decade rather than an overnight transition.

Annie Lamont is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Oak HC/FT, the healthcare and fintech investment firm she built with Andrew Adams. Across 40+ years she has managed $14B, backed 70+ successful exits and 15 IPOs, and been named the top healthcare investor on the Forbes Midas List multiple times. Her portfolio includes athenahealth, Devoted Health, One Medical, CareBridge, VillageMD, Main Street Health, Komodo Health, and Chai Discovery.
Recorded at the New York Stock Exchange, the conversation covers China taking 50% of pharma's outside research dollars, clinical trial reform at the FDA, and Chai Discovery's roadmap from antibodies to peptides to small molecules. Lamont also explains how AI can cut the 25% to 30% of healthcare costs that are administrative.
On the investing side, she walks through backing repeat founders Todd Park and Brad Smith, CareBridge's acquisition by Elevance, Oak's $1M to $100M check sizes across a $2B fund, and newer portfolio companies Halluminate and Auger. The episode closes with the Brex Performance segment on mentors.
"I just think you've got 10% of the world that's worth it & 90% that's not."
We cover:
› Why AI drug discovery changed in the last 2 years
› China's rise in life sciences
› Devoted Health tripling in size and halving its operating ratio
› Why only 10% of AI companies justify their valuations
› Auger and Dave Clark's $100M AI supply chain build

AI's next bottleneck? It might not be GPUs. Memory prices have risen 700% this year, while power, cooling and data transfer are all becoming major constraints on the AI infrastructure buildout. At the same time, the semiconductor industry is approaching the physical limits of simply making transistors smaller.
I sat down with Steven Latré, VP of AI at imec and Thema Board Member, and Adam Chambers of Strike Capital, to talk about what comes after the GPU and where the next wave of value in AI infrastructure could be created.
We get into
› Why memory is already one of AI's biggest bottlenecks
› The power, cooling and data transfer constraints behind inference
› Why photonics could become a critical technology for the next generation of chips
› What happens as Moore's Law approaches the limits of physics
› Why Steven thinks we'll laugh at today's AI in 5–10 years
Steven describes imec as the “hidden gem” of semiconductors. The organization works years ahead of the commercial market, with the world's biggest chip companies coming through its facilities to develop technologies that may not reach the market for another 7–10 years.
His hottest take is that today's LLMs will eventually look like dial-up internet.
“I think we're gonna laugh 5-10 years from now at how old-fashioned AI was today.”

Europe is preparing to mobilize up to €800B in additional defense spending. But money alone doesn't solve one of its biggest problems.
After decades of underinvestment, Europe's defense industry needs to dramatically increase its ability to manufacture at scale. Component lead times can stretch into years, certain contracts can take 4–5 years to deliver and modern warfare increasingly requires systems produced in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. As Aistis Šimaitis puts it, “Volume wins.”
I sat down in Monaco with Aistis, Co-Founder & CEO of Onodrim and former head of Palantir's commercial business in Europe, George Hadjiminas, Chief Strategy Officer at Theon International & EFA Group, and Bruno Wejchert, Partner at Strike Capital.
We get into
› How Ukraine exposed the gaps in Europe's defense industrial base
› Why manufacturing and volume matter as much as new technology
› Why autonomous warfare requires dramatically cheaper components at massive scale
› Why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars”
› Bruno's prediction that Europe could produce a $500B defense company within the next decade
The conversation covers everything from autonomous systems and defense procurement to the lessons Aistis took from Palantir and why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars.” As billions flow into European defense, the question is increasingly not just who can build the best technology, but who can actually manufacture and deliver it at scale.

AI's next infrastructure bottleneck? It's everything connecting them.
As AI models grow, they increasingly need to run across massive clusters of GPUs. Traditional copper interconnects are running out of steam, pushing the industry toward optical interconnects and silicon photonics.
I sat down with Thema's Herwig Van Hove and Yannick De Koninck in Monaco to go deep on the photonics supply chain powering the next generation of AI infrastructure.
Yannick spent five years at NVIDIA, where he helped build its silicon photonics technology from scratch to product-ready maturity. He left what he calls the “golden palace” to join Thema and help build large-scale photonics manufacturing in Europe.
Herwig comes from deep tech investing and saw a different problem. The innovation was ready, but the industrial supply chain wasn't prepared for the speed or scale of AI demand.
We get into
› Why copper is running out of steam inside AI infrastructure
› How photonics could reduce the networking and energy bottlenecks facing AI factories
› Why the photonics supply chain wasn't prepared for the AI boom
› What Yannick learned building silicon photonics at NVIDIA
› Thema's plan to begin production in 2027 and build a major photonics manufacturing platform in Europe
Thema believes the opportunity extends far beyond a single component.
“If you look at an AI factory today, half of that is GPUs, but the other half is the technology to interconnect these GPUs.”
Herwig believes Europe has a rare opportunity to turn decades of photonics research into industrial scale, pointing to ASML as proof that Europe has done it before.
