Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Rust comes up
Next 100x in AI: Inference, Networking, & Self-Optimizing Models — Philip Kiely & Ali Taha, Baseten
- ▶ 26:11 Shawn Wang Uh, like Rust.
The Agent Cloud: Databricks’ Bet on the Future of AI — Matei Zaharia and Reynold Xin
- ▶ 24:34 Matei Zaharia And we actually had some really cool insights just from analyzing current traces, like which models are better at, say, Rust versus like, you know, TypeScript or whatever.
AI Security After Codex and Claude Code — Zico Kolter & Matt Fredrikson, Gray Swan
- ▶ 43:14 Matt Fredrikson It, it takes you like 10 or 20 times as long to like fight with the type checker, which is essentially like proving that you don't have a vulnerability as if, as it would if you just like went into Python or even Rust, right? 2 times in the scene
Scaling Past Informal AI - Carina Hong, Axiom Math
- ▶ 30:25 Carina Hong But if you have proof as Lean, and you have, you know, code, you can choose Rust, which is a strongly typed language.
The Agent-Native Cloud: 3M Users, 100K Signups/Wk, Data Centers, & Death PRs — Jake Cooper, Railway
- ▶ 1:04:33 Jake Cooper Internally, we have JavaScript, we have, uh, or we have TypeScript, we have Rust, and we have Go.
⚡️ Competing with ChatGPT and Sierra, building a $10M ARR company — Yasser Elsaid, Founder, Chatbase
- ▶ 22:21 unnamed speaker Let's see what it does in Rust. 2 times in the scene
Marc Andreessen introspects on Death of the Browser, Pi + OpenClaw, and Why "This Time Is Different"
- ▶ 46:25 Alessio Fanelli We have Brett Taylor on the podcast, and we were talking about Rust, and, you know, Rust is memory safe by default, so why are we teaching the model to not write memory unsafe code? 2 times in the scene
⚡️Monty: the ultrafast Python interpreter by Agents for Agents — Samuel Colvin, Pydantic
- ▶ 0:54 Samuel Colvin But like, this is a crazy world where you can sit down over Christmas and write 30,000 lines of rust that, that is actually powerful and useful.
- ▶ 9:15 Samuel Colvin A single Rust binary, ultimately, that you can install with PyPI or with NPM. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 12:47 Samuel Colvin Basically cloning Redis right now in Rust.
Retrieval After RAG: Hybrid Search, Agents, and Database Design — Simon Eskildsen of Turbopuffer
- ▶ 26:29 Simon Eskildsen Turbo Puffer is like a Rust binary running on a single eight core machine in a Tmux instance.
⚡ Open Model Pretraining Masterclass — Elie Bakouch, HuggingFace SmolLM 3, FineWeb, FinePDF
- ▶ 1:03:02 Shawn Wang You know, I, I see, I see Rust in your code base, you Python, I see, you know, you're experimenting with different optimizers.
Long Live Context Engineering - with Jeff Huber of Chroma
- ▶ 3:28 Jeff Huber Chrome is written in Rust.
- ▶ 53:13 Shawn Wang Rust, like, like, you know, like Linux kernel, what are we talking here? 6 times in the scene
Greg Brockman on OpenAI's Road to AGI
- ▶ 33:09 unnamed speaker It made me think about, we have Brad Taylor on the podcast, and we talked about how certain languages have inner end capabilities, like Rust is memory safe, and so that just happens.
Information Theory for Language Models: Jack Morris
- ▶ 12:57 Shawn Wang It's basically Python married with Rust.
⚡️Warp 2.0: the Agentic Development Environment - Zach Lloyd and Ben Holmes
- ▶ 13:53 Zach Lloyd Warp's built in Rust, by the way, which is why you're seeing Rust code here. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 50:49 Ben Holmes And sure enough, Forbes seems fine at holding Swift or Rust or Go or anything you're trying.
The Shape of Compute (Chris Lattner of Modular)
- ▶ 15:34 Chris Lattner So it's like tens of thousands of times faster than Python, and it's in the Python family. 5 times in the scene
- ▶ 48:42 Chris Lattner Like, but if you want a replacement for Rust end to end, then give us six months.
- ▶ 1:00:23 Chris Lattner And again, this comes back to the rewrite and rust and things like this.
Zed Agents — with Zed Cofounders Nathan Sobo & Antonio Scandurra
- ▶ 2:23 Nathan Sobo And we've essentially engineered an entire editor from an empty repo to up to about over a half a million lines of rust.
- ▶ 3:10 Antonio Scandurra And, you know, it's written in Rust, but also that is collaborative.
SF Compute: Commoditizing Compute
- ▶ 1:09:24 Evan Conrad Yeah, so all Rust, most all of our code base is in Rust, but we're not necessarily just looking for, like, Rust engineers, um, we're specifically looking for, like, Linux-y people. 2 times in the scene
The Creators of Model Context Protocol
- ▶ 10:48 unnamed speaker Um, that was TypeScript, Python, and then for the Zed integration, it was Rust.
The AI Architect: Bret Taylor
- ▶ 40:17 Bret Taylor I mean, how much C code can we rewrite in rust and make it safe so that there's fewer security vulnerabilities? 10 times in the scene
Agent Engineering with Pydantic + Graphs — with Samuel Colvin, CEO of Pydantic Logfire
- ▶ 3:36 Samuel Colvin There will be a V three at some point, which will not break people's code half as much as V two, as in V two was the, was the massive rewrite into rust, but also fixing all the stuff that was broken back from like version zero point… 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 5:39 Samuel Colvin And then beginning of 22, I started working on the rewrite in Rust, basically. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 9:11 Samuel Colvin Like Pydantic AI, I will put my hand up now and say it has a lot of generics, and you need to, it's probably easier to use it if you've written a bit of rust and you really understand generics, but
- ▶ 20:20 Shawn Wang I mean, the, the nice thing is that your binary is really written in Rust, right? 2 times in the scene
