AI isn’t replacing lawyers — it’s helping them work smarter. From drafting documents to legal research, AI is cutting down hours of rote work, allowing lawyers to focus on higher-value strategy and better serve their clients. But as with all enterprise customers handling…
We believe LLMs are transforming programming — making it easier for beginners to learn, and helping experienced developers navigate libraries and syntax more efficiently. In this episode of AI + a16z, @fivetran co-founder and CEO @frasergeorgew and a16z partner @appenz discuss…
New podcast from @BornsteinMatt @stuffyokodraws and myself about AI tools for developers and the huge economic impact they will have.
AI coding isn’t just a hype cycle — it could represent trillions worth of developer productivity. From Copilot to Cursor, AI is already changing how millions code; not someday, but now. Listen to the full conversation on how the future of coding is being rewritten — and what…
[New Post]🚨Nine Emerging Developer Patterns for the AI Era Many of the core concepts we took for granted -- git, templates, docs, ... will be re-imagined in light of agent-driven workloads Here are 9 forward-looking dev patterns that give a hint of what could emerge 👇🧵

I had such a great time talking to Yoko! Check it out!
I had a conversation with the co-creator of MCP @dsp_ about the inception story of MCP as well as the net new, creative workflows MCP brings that we rarely talked about Outside of dev workflows, I think we will see the next MCP client for art canvas, mini games and more 👇
What Is an AI Agent? a16z.com/podcast/what-i… < @appenz @BornsteinMatt and @stuffyokodraws dig into this question and try to find some answers!
We’re entering a new era in robotics where generalized systems are starting to work in the real world, but researchers still don’t have good tools for understanding their data. That’s why I built ARES, an open-source platform for ingesting, annotating, and curating robotics data.

Can confirm. @stuffyokodraws is the real deal.
What makes @a16z stands out as one of the best VC firms in the world? Well, @stuffyokodraws, a partner in that firm, just gave an amazing TECHNICAL talk about MCP @IntercomEng meetup in SF Partners that code > everybody else 🔥
🚨 New: We @a16z built an 8x RTX 4090 GPU AI workstation from scratch —compatible with the new RTX 5090 with PCIe 5.0, for training, deploying, and running AI models locally— so you don’t have to. Here’s how we built it, why it matters, and how you can build one too. Full…
[New post] 🔥A Deep Dive Into MCP and the Future of AI Tooling APIs were the internet’s first great unifier but AI models lack an equivalent. What are the use cases of MCPs today? Where are the challenges? Here's a technical deep dive & map of the current ecosystem 👇
A deep dive on MCP + early market map from @stuffyokodraws
Read more on the market deep dive here a16z.com/a-deep-dive-in… The market is rapidly evolving, so I will keep this updated as we go
I joined @martin_casado on the A16Z podcast to share my thoughts on AX and the open web. Agents building and interacting with our software is going to mean big foundational change to the web. We must leverage this to make sure we have a strong, vibrant, open web in the future.
Agent Experience can help strengthen the open web and avoid a future of walled gardens. AI-generated code is scaling fast, with about 10,000 AI-built sites launching daily on @Netlify. But this is only the beginning: the next phase is using gen AI and AI agents to create…
🚨New Podcast! Marco @Mascobot and I discuss the LLM Landscape, Reasoning Models, DeepSeek-R1 and how this will change demand for compute. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae_Ieh…
🚨 New @a16z podcast: DeepSeek R1, Reinforcement Learning and scaling Test-Time Compute. We dove deep into @deepseek_ai's R1 reasoning model and several of their releases, exploring how they trained R1-Zero and R1, how these models work, and what that means for the future of…
My first job post-college was as a banking analyst. Every day and night, I completed the same time-intensive tasks (read filings & research, run precedent txns & public comps screens, etc). @gsivulka saw the same from his finance friends and was inspired to build @HebbiaAI. For…
