José Macedo and Pondering Durian: The Birth of Delphi Intelligence

José Macedo and Pondering Durian: The Birth of Delphi Intelligence

Join Tommy Shaughnessy as he hosts Pondering Durian (Lead at Delphi Intelligence) and José Macedo (Co-Founder at Delphi Labs & Founding Partner at Delphi Ventures) to introduce Delphi Intelligence — Delphi’s new open research initiative focused on artificial intelligence. Learn why Delphi is going deep into frontier models, robotics, reinforcement learning, and the intersection of crypto and AI, and how this initiative aims to uncover transformative opportunities across emerging tech.


Delphi Intelligence: https://www.delphiintelligence.io/



🎯 Key Highlights


▸ Why Delphi pivoted to AI after years in crypto research and investing.

▸ Inside Delphi Intelligence: free, high-quality research on AI, RL, robotics, and more.

▸ How the team blends deep research with deal sourcing — like early crypto days.

▸ The three phases of AI scale: pretraining, inference, and the RL renaissance.

▸ José and PD on decentralizing RL and building “The World’s RL Gym.”

▸ The case for open AI: modular design, public reasoning, and collaboration.

▸ How LLMs are learning to “think longer” — and what it means for training.

▸ Open-source vs. proprietary AI — and China’s growing lead in open models.

▸ Why José believes AGI may already be here with GPT-4o.

▸ Where early AI startups can still win — from robotics to edge hardware.

▸ Why this AI moment feels like crypto in 2017 — and why it’s still early.

▸ The team’s views on AI safety vs. acceleration, including visits to Anthropic.

▸ A geopolitical view: US vs. China in AI, talent flows, and capital differences.

▸ What the next “Mag 7” of AI could be — and why Big Tech might not lead.

▸ How Delphi plans to find early winners in AI, like they did in crypto.
