GP @a16z AI x Infra. 💙 Data, AI and dev tools. Portcos:@elevenlabsio @FAL @Ideogram @mintlify @motherduck @usepylon @resend @StainlessAPI
Today marks my 8th year in venture and at @a16z. It’s been a wild ride. Here are some lessons I’ve learnt along the way.
Remarkable how far we've come. From fear mongering OS AI across VC, academia, AI labs, and politicians to full throated endorsement. Thank you to everyone who has taken a stand on this over the last couple of years. In no small way have you helped sway and save a nation.
Some very credible competitors (and partners!) but @elevenlabsio still is the best. :)
@elevenlabsio continues to lead & dominate the Voice AI market. It's now been 2 years in a row thanks to our cutting-edge research, engineering and business teams 💯 Our Conversational AI product is both voice and chatbot, soon more. Companies are incorporating AI agents in…
For a tool nerd, nothing is more exciting than having more ways to program. And it just turns out low-code is not a thing, the most popular programing language is natural language itself. Fun jamming on all the believe and disbeliefs in our infra land with the best and more…
Join the leading developer tooling companies and provide the best-in-class docs for your users!
Working with AI teams at @mintlify has been incredible. Watching these companies build the future while we help tell their story through docs is genuinely inspiring. To the future we go
Thought this morning: how do I create the right RL environments for my 7 months old baby?
Our 2025 ambition: enable builders everywhere to create voice‑AI agents that easily pass the Turing Test - where every conversation feels real and emotionally alive.
It is such a wonderful time to build tools for developers, and their AI companions. 😍
Knowledge work started from writing then transformed to using tools to accomplishing different tasks - coding, marketing, supporting customers. Now it's back to writing (prompts). The difference is this current writing is all about structuring and bake in right assumptions.
This is the moment of powerhouses and more powerful leaders reunite. 💪Thank you for working hard to bring the future closer to us. 🌟
Thrilled to back @miramurati and the world-class team behind ~ every major recent AI research and product breakthrough. RL (PPO, TRPO, GAE), reasoning, multimodal, Character, and of course ChatGPT! No one is better positioned to advance the frontier. Excited to see the future…
I love the Fal guy starts to talk about more of the secret sauce of @FAL. The amount of system work and tasteful engineering is so underrated.
Image and video workloads have evolved quite a bit over the past years, and we've been continuously ranking #1 on inference speed without any compromises on quality. The key: specializing on your workload. Our inference team comes from a diverse set of backgrounds; some worked…
Rewatching this 9-year-old Linus Torvalds interview. Still wild to me one person created two of the most transformative systems in software history. Best part for me is when asked if he’s a visionary: “I’m an engineer. There are other people looking at the sky and say 'I want…
When you're getting fast and reliable inference, it's because of all this work went behind the scenes. @isidentical is the GOAT. Respect.
Back in 2022 at @fal, we built our own lazy environment packing format specifically to optimize container startup times (we knew the workloads were going to be very diverse, and there was a GPU crunch so scaling to 0 and scaling back up fast when there is demand was key). The…
Real pleasers for those design eyes 👀😍
A closer look at the @resend rebrand Starting with the playful light beam interaction on the homepage.
Love seeing your greatness seen by the entire country. Go @skupor !! 🥳
Hell yea @skupor! The US government is lucky to have you. Make meritocracy great again.

No one can compare with the depth of @appenz both on operating experience and infra knowledge (he was CTO of Intel & VMware FGS!) I'm just a happy accomplice.
pulled it earlier for a quick fix. cleaned up and back up now. everyone on here is doing great work in the category and have real depth, real volume, real conviction. i know we missed some great ones and would love your help filling in the gaps. if there’s a partner you’ve…
