Cerebras IPO Challenges NVIDIA Chip Dominance

Today's AI news lineup: the Cerebras IPO and wafer-scale inference engine, the Codex mobile app arriving through ChatGPT, span-of-control limits for managing agent swarms, the Figure robot livestream with Rose, Bob, and Frank, AI voice-cloning scams and family code words, a Microsoft 100-agent swarm taking down the Mythos threat actor, Mythos exploiting Apple M5 memory integrity, and a $650M raise for Recursive Superintelligence.

A Friday rundown that opened with Cerebras going public and a deep look at how its wafer-scale architecture rewrites the inference cost curve against NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. The conversation moved into practical agent management — why three to eight agents per operator mirrors firefighting span-of-control doctrine — before turning to a Figure humanoid livestream and a personal voice-cloning scam story that argued for family code words. Cybersecurity dominated the back half, with Microsoft fielding a 100-agent swarm against the Mythos model and fresh reporting on a Mythos-driven Apple M5 memory-integrity exploit. The episode closed on Recursive Superintelligence, the new lab raising $650M at a $4B valuation to build self-improving systems, and the Hinton warning that arrives with that name.
