Why Diffusion Will Win AI Inference with Inception Co-Founder and CEO Stefano Ermon

No Priors · 2026-09-18

Speaker 1 | 00:05 - 00:31
Hi, listeners. Welcome back to No Priors. Today, I’m here with Stefano Erman, who is a longtime Stanford professor and now co founder and CEO of Inception. Stefano has a extraordinarily broad body of work around generative modeling, but is especially well known as one of the fathers of diffusion. We talk about his company challenging the large labs and why speed and efficiency are going to be the name of the game in AI over the next few years.

Speaker 1 | 00:31 - 00:35
Welcome, Stefano. Stefano, thanks so much for being here.

Speaker 2 | 00:35 - 00:35
Great to be he…

  • We were working on the keynote today with @romainhuet and @sama and most of the fun was trying to figure out how to explain it all to you because there is so much good stuff in there that it’s a bit ridiculous all in quick succession.

We’ll have some things next week already to not keep you waiting so long, but very excited to show you all new things we’ve been working on and how it will all come together in the coming months. [3650 ❤️ 105 🔄]

  • How smart AI gets is inversely correlated with my ability to compose a coherent sentence with no spelling or grammar mistakes [35 ❤️]
  • I find this phone transcript from @Muse on how it negotiated $288 in annual savings for my Comcast cable bill super fascinating.

Honestly, I think most companies’ customer support lines are NOT ready for agents 😅

📌 Watch me talk about my favorite Muse use cases here: [230 ❤️ 10 🔄]

  • Meta’s @Muse is the best personal agent I’ve tried to date.

It actually save me $800+ a year on my cable and phone bills, which is just insane value for a free AI agent.

Here’s my new video where I walk through 10 of my favorite Muse use cases, including a personalized morning news feed, a habit tracker, and how I got Muse to call customer support and negotiate my bills for me.

Honestly, I can see Muse becoming Meta’s next billion-user app.

  • The pre-roll was legendary
  • This is the best movie ever made [16 ❤️ 1 🔄]

Thariq (@trq212)

  • You can see the source for the mod here! [469 ❤️ 11 🔄]
  • AGENTS.md support is built off of Claude Code mods, our upcoming way to customize the Claude Code harness.

This is a built-in mod, but you’ll be able to build custom versions of project instructions yourself as you’d like too. [926 ❤️ 20 🔄]

  • We’re adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code.

Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md.

You can toggle this behavior in /config. [25553 ❤️ 2174 🔄]

  • Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:

🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%

While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z⁠.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).

(Do note that’s the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.) [91 ❤️ 3 🔄]

  • Free Jev on Vercel
    I know what I’m doing this weekend 😁 [1796 ❤️ 53 🔄]
  • The data and the anecdata on Jev’s adoption are shocking. Everyone is adopting it.

I think it’s a great product, but this is also downstream of the “AI is too expensive/slow” zeitgeist. People are eager to optimize and put AI in even more places! [711 ❤️ 35 🔄]

  • Jev will be super helpful for agents to make split second decisions in workflows, data classification, judgment calls, and hundreds of other use-cases in the enterprise.

Here’s a quick demo with Box and Jev to make that real. The demo pulls an incident report from Box, asks whether it’s customer-facing and how severe it is, moves the file into escalate, monitor, or review folders, and sets a metadata template instance with the result. This all happens nearly instantly and at almost no cost.

You can imagine this in insurance claims, contract management, loan processing, security reviews, customer log analysis, and so on. Definitely a great new class of AI use-case. [500 ❤️ 57 🔄]

  • It’s hard not to create slop when most things you consume are slop

To fix output, first fix input [155 ❤️ 11 🔄]

Nikunj Kothari (@nikunj)

  • Oops @typesafeai [2 ❤️]
  • Looking for inspiration on what you are able to do with Jev (by @typefaceai) this weekend?

Built a website called Jevable ( which showcases all the fun demos on X - filterable by a few categories.

Feel free to add your own project by using the + button! [300 ❤️ 16 🔄]

  • Jev scoring 3000 kid snacks with multiple criteria on in 28 seconds for $0.11 🤯 [486 ❤️ 24 🔄]

Peter Steinberger (@steipete)

  • The coolest part: roboclaw runs our team server, is live on Discord, talks with gpt-live and knows about all the sessions it’s juggling.

We can ask it about context to current and past sessions right while we have meetings. [83 ❤️ 5 🔄]

  • Love having @vhbrzezowski hijacking my sessions and desloping them before the PR lands.

Also hot tip: Open the home sidebar and ask your claw to reorganize your sessions to keep your sessions organized. [50 ❤️ 1 🔄]

  • … and CUA works on all of these too, so agent can be more efficient than just screenshots. [13 ❤️]

Dan Shipper (@danshipper)

  • there are certainly over the top AI demos on X, but it very sad to see someone call @jackcheng’s work “fake”

He’s one of the smartest, most intellectually honest, and craft-focused people I’ve ever worked with. And his demo is both real and an interesting peak into the future

not a good look! [23 ❤️]

  • THIS CANNOT STAND [16 ❤️ 1 🔄]
  • Roose on the loose. Very concerning [43 ❤️]

Aditya Agarwal (@adityaag)

  • AI is a full circle.

Everything old is new again. [6 ❤️]
