Latent.Space·low signal

In a June 1 episode, swyx and Vibhu interviewed xAI's Ethan He on Grok Imagine, video agents, and frontier video systems driven by language and interactive world models — part of Latent Space's stated 2026 pivot toward YouTube and video-native formats and a podcast-network expansion. It tracks swyx's recurring thesis that coding agents are 'breaking containment' into adjacent domains like generative video. A useful early read on where the AI-engineering community thinks the next frontier (video/world models) is forming.
