Where does consumer AI stand at the end of 2025?

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The "Everything App" is a myth. We are moving from general chat boxes to agentic workspaces that operate across your entire software stack.
  2. Build opinionated. Use the current model quality to solve one specific, high-value workflow rather than competing for the general assistant crown.
  3. 2026 is the year of the builder. The infrastructure is ready, the compute tension is real for Labs, and the market is hungry for products with a soul.

How Claude Code Works - Jared Zoneraich, PromptLayer

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Movement: The transition from AI as a feature to AI as a headless operator using terminal-based agents.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Replace complex classification DAGs with simple tool-calling loops to reduce technical debt.
  3. The Bottom Line: The future of software development is not better IDEs but better headless agents that treat the entire OS as a tool.

Shipping AI That Works: An Evaluation Framework for PMs – Aman Khan, Arize

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from deterministic software to probabilistic agents requires a move from "vibe coding" to data-driven development.
  2. Build a "golden" data set of 50 hard examples. Use these to test every prompt change before pushing to production.
  3. Reliability is the only moat left in a world of commoditized models. Evals are the bridge to that reliability.

AGI: The Path Forward – Jason Warner & Eiso Kant, Poolside

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Software development is moving from a manual craft to an automated output of vertically integrated intelligence stacks.
  2. Monitor the public API release early next year to replace generic LLMs with specialized coding intelligence.
  3. The winners of the next decade will build on platforms that treat compute as a raw commodity and intelligence as the final product.

What I learned at the frontier of tech in 2025 (Kelly, Cowen, Wang, Prince)

Azeem Azhar

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Pivot: The transition from weightless software to energy-heavy hardware.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Stop building "wrappers" for model weaknesses.
  3. The Bottom Line: AI value is moving from the model to the grid and the individual reputation.

How AI Will Reshape The Economy In 2026 (a16z Big Ideas)

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: The Great Re-architecting. As legacy software moats evaporate and industrial supply chains reshore, value is migrating from passive data storage to active execution layers.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Target Archaic Verticals. Identify high-friction industries like mortgage servicing or IT support where the distance between intent and execution is currently measured in days.
  3. The Bottom Line: The next two years will reward those who build systems of action that replace human labor with autonomous agents and software-defined hardware.

Why Scientists Can't Rebuild a Polaroid Camera [César Hidalgo]

Machine Learning Street Talk

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Trend: Economic complexity predicts growth better than current GDP. Capital will move toward "high-letter" economies like India and Indonesia.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Prioritize team retention over documentation. Since knowledge is embodied, losing a core team is equivalent to deleting the source code.
  3. The Bottom Line: Success in the next decade belongs to those who treat knowledge as a living network rather than a digital asset.

⚡️GPT5-Codex-Max: Training Agents with Personality, Tools & Trust — Brian Fioca + Bill Chen, OpenAI

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Agentic Abstraction. We are moving from Model-as-a-Service to Agent-as-a-Service where the harness is as important as the weights.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Standardize your CLI. Use tools like ripgrep (RG) that models already have "habits" for to see immediate performance gains.
  3. The Bottom Line: The next 12 months will see the end of manual integration engineering as agents become capable of navigating UIs and legacy terminals autonomously.

Steve Yegge's Vibe Coding Manifesto: Why Claude Code Isn't It & What Comes After the IDE

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The commoditization of syntax means architectural judgment is the only remaining moat. As the cost of code hits zero the value of intent skyrockets.
  2. Replace your manual refactoring workflows with a burn and rebuild strategy. Use agents to generate entirely new modules instead of patching old ones.
  3. Seniority is no longer a shield against obsolescence. You must spend the next six months building your agentic intuition or risk being replaced by a PhD student with a prompt.

Getting To The Bottom Of Quantum w/ Rearden

The Gwart Show

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Technical reality is decoupled from venture capital hype.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Use hashed addresses and run a node.
  3. The Bottom Line: Quantum is an engineering hurdle rather than an existential crisis for the next decade.

What Can DeFi Users Actually Do on Canton Network Today?

The DCo Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Institutional Migration. As large-scale capital seeks on-chain efficiency, it will gravitate toward networks that offer privacy as a default.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Monitor Infrastructure. Track the rollout of Canton-native stablecoins to identify when the liquidity floodgates open for professional traders.
  3. The Bottom Line: Canton is building for the "Quiet Money." If you are looking for the next dog coin, look elsewhere, but if you want to see how the global financial system actually moves on-chain, this is the network to watch over the next year.

2025 Year in Review

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from "Infra-as-an-Asset" to "Infra-as-a-Service" means valuations will now track real cash flows rather than speculative multiples.
  2. Prioritize protocols that pivot to B2B strategies or vertical integration.
  3. The next 12 months will reward those who build for users rather than for the "crypto-native" echo chamber.

Keith Singery & Garrett Oetken: TAO.com Wallet, Bittensor, TAO Flow, Governance, Subnets | Ep. 77

Ventura Labs

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Transition: Capital is migrating from passive staking to active participation in specific intelligence commodities.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Audit the founders behind subnets before swapping tokens.
  3. The Bottom Line: Bittensor is becoming a modular AI stack where the value lies in the integration of specialized subnets rather than isolated performance.

Our 2026 Crypto Predictions

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The AI capex cycle is the new North Star for crypto liquidity. If next-gen chips underdeliver, the risk-off contagion will hit crypto first.
  2. Accumulate blue-chip DeFi protocols like Aave or Morpho. These middlemen are better positioned to capture fintech integration than speculative L1s.
  3. 2026 is the year crypto stops selling potential and starts selling efficiency. Survival depends on being close to the customer.
