What Latent Space covers

Latent Space calls itself a podcast by and for AI engineers. It covers foundation models, code generation, agents and GPU infrastructure through interviews with builders, plus news and paper discussion.

The mixed format means some weeks are deep technical interviews and others are discussion of what just shipped.

Who it's for

Our take: the best fit is software and AI engineers building with LLMs who want technical depth. If you write code against model APIs, this is one of the most directly useful shows to follow. For more shows like it, see our best AI podcasts for developers list.

Expect technical vocabulary; the show assumes you build software. The crossover special with No Priors shows how it overlaps with investor-hosted AI shows.
