Sebastian Raschka, Independent AI Researcher and author of Build a Large Language Model from Scratch, joins Hugo to talk about what's changed in AI architecture, from post-training to hybrid models, and why understanding what's under the hood matters more than ever for developers building in the agentic era.
Kshetrajna Raghavan, a principal engineer from Shopify, walks through how they evolved their approach to extracting structured data from millions of merchant stores. One-shot LLM calls hit quality and cost ceilings fast, so the team shifted to an agentic architecture where the model explores stores on its own to find answers.
