In-depth analysis from our expert teams

After a year when the sudden leap forward of Gen AI and LLMs took almost everyone by surprise, it’s a good time to ignore the hype, take a step back and look at what we have.

Guido Appenzeller is a special advisor to a16z, a former CTO at Intel and VMware and a leading voice in the current wave of software and technology.

In part one of our conversation with Guido, we discuss where AI fits into the existing software universe, what phase 2 might look like, the potential limitations – regulatory and infrastructural - and what it means for developers when you have an additional fundamental system building block with which to work.
