Thomas Wolfe explains how Hugging Face’s affordable open-source MicroDuck makes robotics accessible while the conversation turns to an AI-model security breach.
The brief
Nvidia projects roughly 70% revenue growth as AI infrastructure demand stays strong, but memory and component shortages are limiting sales while higher prices narrow margins.
The episode tests whether Nvidia’s demand can last beyond fiscal 2028, weighing hyperscaler orders, enterprise adoption, its integrated platform and the rise of custom silicon.
Salesforce’s partnership with Anthropic and a technology-focused G20 meeting show how AI’s next phase is spreading into established software and national policy.
Hugging Face co-founder Thomas Wolfe presents MicroDuck, an affordable open-source robot, then discusses how models accessed a vulnerability in Hugging Face systems.
The closing tension is financial: Nvidia’s equity rally contrasts with credit-market caution about borrowing by neoclouds and frontier labs supporting the AI buildout.
