Latent Space: The AI Engineer Podcast · Why the Frontier Ecosystem must be Open — Matei Zaharia and Reynold Xin, Databricks · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

It's probably like 100x cheaper than those frontier models and still better.

And that's actually done by one of the researchers who came from DeepMind, was a co-founder of ADAPT, like very early LLM scaling person, but focused on this.

Likewise, we're doing specialized sub-agents for part of what the coding agent does.

And if you've seen the stuff on advisor models from Harvey, and Anthopic.

And UC Berkeley, actually, one of my grad students there wrote a paper called Advisor Models, I think, before those came out.

I mean, I'm sure others had the idea at the same time.

But that's something that helps a ton.

So, yeah, we actually showed some stuff just today at the keynote.

Is it Parth?

Oh, you know Parth?

Yeah, yeah, Parth.

Yes, yes, yeah.

I'm one of his advisors.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're awesome, yeah.

So, yeah, so we're doing some of that.

And as we get experience with these in the first-party agents, we're also doing them with customers.

So my feeling is, like, customizing models is actually going to get way easier over time.
