Is your desktop ready for AI agents? In episode 90 of Mixture of Experts, host Tim Hwang is joined by Volkmar Uhlig, Olivia Buzek and Mihai Criveti to break down Anthropic's Claude Cowork launch—bringing the power of Claude Code to everyday job tasks. Would you trust an AI agent to organize your files? Next, Apple announces a partnership with Google to power the next generation of Siri with Gemini models. What does this mean for on-device AI, privacy and the future of edge intelligence? Then, in a surprising turn, Linux creator Linus Torvalds admits to using AI agents for a side project involving vibe coding, despite once mockingly saying that “vibe”stands for “very inefficient but entertaining.” Are coding tools finally good enough for even the old guard? All that and more on today's Mixture of Experts.

Claude Co-work extends Claude Code's agentic capabilities beyond coding to general desktop tasks, making AI automation accessible to non-technical users through a chat interface. Apple announced a partnership with Google to integrate Gemini models into Siri, shifting from OpenAI and raising questions about edge AI viability versus cloud-based solutions. Linus Torvalds experimented with AI coding tools for a side project, reflecting broader adoption among experienced developers for prototyping and unfamiliar languages. The panel discusses trust in AI agents, the economics of on-device versus cloud inference, security concerns with AI-generated code, and the potential for non-developers to build small businesses using AI tools despite current limitations in production-grade software.
