The AI That Remembers: How Memory Is Powering the Next Leap in Intelligence
What happens when AI stops forgetting? In this episode of IA Odyssey, we dive deep into OpenAI's rollout of memory in ChatGPT—and why it’s so much more than a feature toggle. From personalized ad agents to AI doctors learning on the job, we explore how memory transforms artificial intelligence into agentic AI: systems that adapt, personalize, and evolve. Drawing from cutting-edge research like KARMA, MeAgent Zero, and cognitive architecture frameworks, we unpack how memory lets AI learn from experience, get more accurate, and even form something close to relationships.

Why AI Teams Fall Apart: Cracking the Code of Multi-Agent Failures
What happens when you put multiple AI agents together to solve a task? You might expect teamwork—but more often, you get chaos. In this episode of IA Odyssey, we dive into a groundbreaking study from UC Berkeley and Intesa Sanpaolo that reveals why multi-agent systems built on large language models are failing—spectacularly.The researchers examined over 150 real MAS conversations and uncovered 14 unique ways these systems break down—whether it’s agents ignoring each other, forgetting their roles, or ending tasks too early. They created MASFT, the first taxonomy to map these failures, and tested whether better prompts or smarter coordination could fix things. The result? A wake-up call for anyone building AI teams.If you've ever wondered why your squad of AIs can't seem to get along, this episode is for you.This episode was generated using Google's NotebookLM.Full paper here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.13657

How DeepSeek Is Beating OpenAI at Their Own Game—On a Budget
In this episode of IA Odyssey, we unpack how DeepSeek's open-source models are shaking up the AI world—matching GPT-level performance at a fraction of the cost. Drawing on insights from the research paper by Chengen Wang (University of Texas at Dallas) and Murat Kantarcioglu (Virginia Tech), we explore DeepSeek's secret sauce: memory-efficient Multi-Head Latent Attention, an evolved Mixture of Experts architecture, and reinforcement learning without supervised data. Oh, and did we mention they trained this monster on a $ave-the-GPU budget?From hardware-aware model design to the surprisingly powerful GRPO algorithm, this episode decodes the magic that’s making DeepSeek-V3 and R1 the open-source giants to watch. Whether you're an AI enthusiast or just want to know who's giving OpenAI and Anthropic sleepless nights, you don’t want to miss this.Crafted with help from Google's NotebookLM.Read the full paper here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.11486
