Major highlight hosting Sequoia Capital AI Ascent was chatting with my friend Andrej Karpathy. We chat about his future predictions for the ecosystem (an LLM OS!), elephant in the room questions (Is scale all that matters? How to compete as a young startup against OpenAI and others?), leadership lessons learnt working with the 🐐 (Elon!), and what matters most to him personally in his next chapter (hint: 🪸).

AlphaChip proved that AI chip design can be creative. More curvy, organic looking, inspired by nature. Not Manhattan grid-like structures that humans tend to design. But it took time for Ricursive Intelligence founders Anna Goldie and Azalia Mirhoseini to earn the trust of the TPU team - designs that looked different but were increasingly superhuman performant! Anna and Azalia, co-creators of AlphaChip, dive into the story on our latest Sequoia Capital Training Data pod!

When we Sequoia Capital led the first round in Skild AI in 2023, the two biggest questions were: ❓What's the market, when all other robot companies have failed? Why does Skild have a shot? ❓What's actually special - what's real and impressive, and what's just hype? 2.5 years in, & the world is in for a fun surprise with Skild AI's progress and trajectory 💫 Deepak Pathak and I had a blast chatting with Allie Garfinkle FORTUNE at #FortuneBrainstormAI

❓Fave nugget from our chat w GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke on our latest Sequoia Capital Training Data episode with me & Sonya Huang 🐥: On what timeframe do you think AI will be as good as an average developer, and a 10x developer? 1⃣ Models today are able to write better code than the average developer, if prompted in the right way and given the right context 2⃣ But models today lack creativity, critical thinking, and systems thinking... Models today still need to learn how to decompose problems and make the right technical decisions
