Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger with a16z's Raghu Raghuram and Guido Appenzeller on the next wave of semiconductor innovation and the physical constraints shaping the AI buildout: Drawing on his experience designing Intel's 386 and 486 processors, Pat explains how AI could transform chip design, but also why faster design alone won't solve the industry's biggest problems. They examine the bottlenecks in manufacturing, memory bandwidth, advanced packaging, and power, and why today's explosion of specialized AI chips may eventually consolidate around a smaller number of architectures. They also discuss the potential for new memory technologies, the shift from copper to optical networking, and why energy capacity could become a major constraint on AI growth. Finally, they revisit Pat's VMware years to ask what virtualization might look like when infrastructure is built for agents rather than humans.

AI agents don't use the cloud like humans do. AWS CEO Matt Garman on rewiring AWS for its newest "users": "Increasingly we're seeing teams that want a cloud that is great to work with agents and not just with people." " We've doubled down on things like starting a database in three seconds and some capabilities that agents are excited about." "Many agents wanna create a database, do a little bit of work, and then have the database go away. You don't really need that database to have five nines of durability." "There are new building blocks that agents are gonna want that we just didn't really need before: compute sandboxes, gateways, agent permissions versus people or service role permissions." " A lot of those are things that we have built and are building and thinking actively about because they are just brand-new building blocks. It's not using the existing building blocks differently." @mattsgarman @RaghuRaghuram

As much as the $70B hockey sticks charts were fun to look at, $50B of OpenAI ARR implies a similar y/y growth rate to Jul and Aug (225%+ y/y), which makes more sense.

The Atlantic recently called Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang "the most powerful man in AI." He talks with CBS News' @jolingkent at Nvidia headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., about the latest developments in artificial intelligence and the ongoing debate over safety and regulations. https://cbsn.ws/476ihUf
