The AI Podcast (NVIDIA)
Lowering the Cost of Intelligence With NVIDIA's Ian Buck - Ep. 284
AI Summary
In this episode, Ian Buck of NVIDIA explains how mixture‑of‑experts (MoE) architectures allow AI models to become more capable without a linear rise in compute costs, using analogies that make the concept accessible. He highlights the hidden complexities of MoE, such as routing and load balancing, and stresses that achieving their promise requires extreme co‑design across hardware, networking, and software stacks. Buck also shares real‑world examples where MoE has delivered cost‑effective performance gains, illustrating the strategic importance of integrated system design for next‑generation AI.
