March 5
33 mins

Episode Description

Ben Lorica talks with Sudip Roy (Co-founder & CTO, Adaption Labs) about why enterprise AI adoption stalls in the “last 5%” of reliability — and why waiting for the next frontier model release is usually the wrong bet. They unpack “adaptation” as something broader than post-training, including gradient-free, inference-time techniques that can sit above models to route, combine, and continuously improve behavior.
