Agents, GPUs, and the New AI Stack

The AI wave isn’t a hype cycle anymore — it’s an infrastructure project.

In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Core42’s Edmondo Orlatti and WWT’s Mike Trojecki break down what’s actually happening inside the world’s fastest-moving AI organizations:

🔥 Agents joining the workforce
🔥 Sovereign AI to protect data and IP
🔥 Secure inference at scale across cloud, data center, and edge

We get into the messy reality too — data chaos, half-built lakes, platform sprawl — and how specialized language models and no-code agents are pushing AI beyond “chat toys” into always-on productivity engines.

The conversation spans what leaders are really dealing with next: edge inference, megawatt racks, liquid cooling, GPU memory attacks, and why speed versus safety is a false tradeoff. The winners don’t choose — they design for both.

If you’re building an AI roadmap (or realizing your org doesn’t quite have one yet), this conversation is your shortcut.
