Today, we’re launching the third season of our AI Cloud Essentials podcast —handing the mic to the entrepreneurial pioneers on the frontlines of AI innovation. In the latest episode, Creating Realtime AI Experiences, we hear from Jake Rothman, who leads go-to-market and partnerships at frontier AI research lab Decart . He describes how a single viral demo of a virtual try-on app turned into a commercial roadmap. And how CoreWeave’s AI-native cloud makes it possible for Decart to move quickly as it explores market-driven use cases for its real-time world models.

In upcoming episodes, more founders and innovators speak their minds, sharing their insights with host Ritu Jyoti, AI Value Strategist and CEO. Their passion for AI makes for fast-paced, freewheeling conversations about building their businesses, choosing the right team members—and architecting their products to scale and grow quickly.

Sponsored by CoreWeave, AI Cloud Essentials focuses on the essential enablers fueling the rapid adoption of AI by enterprises across diverse verticals. The momentum is clear. The latest McKinsey State of AI Survey ( The State of AI in 2025: Agents, Innovation, and Transformation ) highlights the escalating pace of adoption, finding 88% of enterprises are using AI in at least one business function—up from 72% in 2024 and just 50% in 2020. But what’s fueling this growth? And where is AI really delivering value, not just users? These are the kinds of questions that AI Cloud Essentials focuses on, versus speeds-and-feeds updates and the ever-shifting AI news cycle. Defining and exploring what’s essential—right from the start The first season of AI Cloud Essentials took a close look at CoreWeave Cloud , since its AI-native infrastructure delivers the performance, pace, and partnership that AI pioneers need. In each episode, we focused on how CoreWeave Cloud delivers essential capabilities and differentiating strengths over general-purpose clouds. Our second season explored how CoreWeave is transforming vertical industries and inspiring new use cases—from media and entertainment to financial services, software development to marketing. Now our third season  highlights  essential insights from innovators,  bringing new voices and perspectives into the evolving AI conversation.

Before diving into the latest season, here’s a quick look back:

• Episode 7: Empowering Creative Teams ‍ ‍ Entertainment Mac Moore , head of media and entertainment at CoreWeave, talks about how the industry is moving past early "prompt-to-movie" hype and into practical, assistive AI applications. He advises studios to target incremental, ROI-driven AI adoption in narrow workflow slices rather than attempting wholesale replacement, in order to empower rather than threaten creative talent. • Episode 8: Getting Physical with AI ‍ ‍ Physical AI Physical AI is enabling advanced engineering teams and manufacturing organizations to streamline simulations and other complex, time-consuming processes. We hear from Richard Ahlfeld , who leads physical AI at CoreWeave, on the current status of this exciting, vital area of AI deployment—and explore the possibilities on the horizon. • Episode 9: Exploring the Financial Frontier ‍ Financial Services Hear Dimitris Tsementzis , mathematician founder and CEO of  hLevel, explain why AI hasn’t yet had its “Black-Scholes moment” in financial markets. Explore the leading edge of this critical sector, where AI is unlocking massive potential for groundbreaking change and industry-wide evolution. • Episode 10: Empowering Development Teams ‍ ‍ Software Development While the impact of agentic coding is undeniable, so is the value of developers exploring new ways of addressing organizational pain points. Camille Fournier , CoreWeave’s VP of Engineering, explores how agentic coding opens up strategic opportunities for developers to transform the organizations they serve. Is  coding over? Not yet. • Episode 11: Going Beyond Gut Checks ‍ Marketing ‍ Susanne Seitinger , VP of Product Marketing at CoreWeave, explores how her team is using synthetic research to test and validate critical decisions on strategies, messaging, naming, and more. The key? Balancing simulated buyer behavior with real customer contact. Find out about the many sweet spots for AI within the marketing mix. • Episode 12: Taking Innovation Further ‍ ‍ Industries and Use Cases ‍ AI deployments are scaling from experimentation to production, creating real value and impact across industries and within organizations.
