Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#341 Celia Merzbacher: Beyond the Buzzword: The Real State of Quantum Computing, Sensing, and AI in 2025
Q: Why would a company invest in on-premise quantum computers versus cloud access?
On-premise deployments may be chosen for security and control by large institutions or governments, but overall, cloud access dominates as the market grows and hardware rapidly evolves, with on-premises emerging as a slower-growing but strategically important option for some firms.
#341 Celia Merzbacher: Beyond the Buzzword: The Real State of Quantum Computing, Sensing, and AI in 2025
Q: What is the role of QEDC in the quantum ecosystem and how does it interact with government?
QEDC acts as a voice for the community, educating policymakers, organizing policy-focused events, and enabling collaboration between industry and government to de-risk and accelerate quantum development.
#340 Steffen Cruz: Training AI Without Data Centres
Q: What is the link between the chain and the compute in Iceland, in terms of how compute is orchestrated and paid for?
The link is that the blockchain acts as an authorization and payout layer, while the actual compute resides off-chain on distributed hardware (e.g., in Iceland) and is orchestrated through a Kubernetes-like deployment that ensures secure communication and fair compensation for work performed.
#340 Steffen Cruz: Training AI Without Data Centres
Q: And is it related to either federated computing or data registration on the blockchain, or are they cousins but not siblings?
Federated learning and data registration on the chain are cousins in concept, but Macrocosmos' approach emphasizes using edge compute as the training resource and leveraging a robust orchestration layer to connect and manage heterogeneous devices, rather than solely anonymizing data on-device.
#340 Steffen Cruz: Training AI Without Data Centres
Q: Let me ask a couple of questions. I had a guy on the program who was doing something interesting. Is it like aggregating spare compute and tying it to the blockchain to organize it and distribute it?
The chain is a registry and identity layer for participants, with an off-chain tracking system that tallies contributions and pays out rewards; the architecture is designed to be expandable beyond on-chain limits and to enable a scalable, global network of compute.
