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 George Fraser and a16z partner Guido Appenzeller discuss how enterprises can integrate LLMs into...

@fivetran @frasergeorgew @appenz As an embedded full stack dev I am starting to get put off by the level of "... i gave up and have been deriding devs for years, but now i want to play with this new shiny toy..." coming out of countless VC leadership... hopefully this fades soon...

@fivetran @frasergeorgew @appenz 🔧 LLMs are like having a co-pilot for coding, guiding both newbies and seasoned devs through the complex skies of programming. 🚀 It's exciting to see how AI is bridging gaps in knowledge and efficiency.

@fivetran @frasergeorgew @appenz True. The breakthrough isn't just LLM coding - it's the shift in data management. Unlike traditional approaches, LLMs operate on unstructured data, making hygiene more critical than ever

What exactly is an AI agent — a looped LLM? A planning system? A misused buzzword? In the latest episode of AI + a16z, Guido Appenzeller, Yoko, and Matt Bornstein debate how to define agentic behavior, where the architecture diverges from traditional software, and why most agents today are closer to “weekend demos” than AGI. They explore: — Why “agent” is a spectrum, not a category — How pricing, UX, and data access complicate the picture — And what it’ll take to move from weekend demos to real agent products Listen now:

Too many highly skilled workers still spend hours on repetitive tasks, from combing through legal documents to synthesizing financial data. But generative AI, reasoning models, and agentic workflows are a game-changer for automating tedious workflows and freeing professionals to focus on strategy, decision-making, and creativity. This could mean huge boosts in productivity, happiness, and, ultimately, GDP. For more, listen to Hebbia CEO George Sivulka and a16z’s Alex Immerman on the AI + a16z podcast:

When facing attacks by multiple drones, forces have to act quickly. They have just seconds to make an “optimal” decision, in the toughest of circumstances. But what if that decision could be made easier, with the help of AI? That’s the question Anduril Industries is tackling in a new partnership with OpenAI. Brian Schimpf, the CEO and co-founder of Anduril, explains how it works with a16z Growth’s David George.

“Is there an AI bubble?” Gavin Baker and David George In this conversation from a16z’s Runtime conference, Gavin Baker, Managing Partner and CIO of Atreides Management, joins David George, General Partner at a16z, to unpack the macro view of AI: the trillion-dollar data center buildout, the new economics of GPUs, and what this boom means for investors, founders, and the global economy. They discuss how this cycle compares to the dot-com era, why “there are no dark GPUs,” and what makes today’s infrastructure spending different from past bubbles. Gavin explains why he believes we’re still early in the AI supercycle, the changing margins in SaaS and software, and how business models and consumer interfaces are being rewritten in real time. 00:00 Intro 01:02 Are we in an AI Bubble? 02:41 Dark fiber vs. “no dark GPUs” 05:07 ROI on AI: Why this time is different 08:36 Round-tripping deals 12:22 The application layer: It’s still early 15:24 Margins, scaling laws 23:26 Reasoning models and the flywheel 27:18 The future of business models 29:41 Robotics and Elon’s Optimus vision Gavin Baker David George

a16z GP David George: "You need to adapt to the AI era or die. "On the front end, you need to incorporate AI into your product natively, and not just attach a chatbot app into your existing workflow." "Reimagine what it can mean with AI and be aggressive about disrupting yourself and changing." "And then on the back end... you need to be fully rolled out with the latest coding models for all of your developers." David George Jen Kha

What if an LLM could debug your code, spin up containers, and control your lights — all without custom wiring? That’s the promise of MCP. MCP is an open standard that lets LLMs and third-party tools talk to each other. From hobbyists to software vendors, it makes the concept of AI agents more powerful, more useful, and way easier to extend. MCP’s co-creator, Anthropic's David Soria Parra, discusses the protocol and its promise with Yoko 👇

Fivetran CEO George Fraser's theory of the SaaSpocalypse: "There's a lot more uncertainty embedded in all these SaaS companies... than there was a year ago." "I don't really buy into this reason that all these SaaS categories are gonna disappear and be replaced with vibe-coded software. I think there will be some, but I think the bigger threat is simply new companies coming along. It is just so much easier to write software now that AI-native companies will just zoom and catch up to the established incumbents and maybe be better." George Fraser with martin_casado

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 sensitive data and complex workflows, selling to the legal profession means taking great care to build a great UX, prioritize security, and understand the field inside and out.
