Marc Andreessen's 2026 Outlook: AI Timelines, US vs. China, and The Price of AI

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from "adding machines" to "human cognition" models is an 80-year correction finally hitting the vertical part of the S-curve.
  2. Prioritize application-specific models that backward-integrate into the stack.
  3. AI is a physical and digital build-out that will define the next decade of global power.

Who Controls AI's Future? The Battle for GPU Access | CoreWeave SVP

Weights & Biases

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from general-purpose compute to specialized AI infrastructure mirrors the rise of Snowflake in the data era.
  2. Audit your current cloud spend to identify where generalist latency is throttling your GPU goodput.
  3. Performance bars move every two years. If your infrastructure isn't purpose-built for AI today, you will be priced out of the market tomorrow.

Welcome to AIE CODE - Jed Borovik, Google DeepMind

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Pivot: The transition from LLMs as chat interfaces to LLMs as logic engines. As models move from text prediction to logic execution, the value moves from the model itself to the verification systems surrounding it.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Audit the stack. Prioritize the integration of agentic coding tools like Jules to shorten the feedback loop between ideation and deployment.
  3. The Bottom Line: Code is the only medium where AI can self-correct and scale without human intervention. The next 12 months will be defined by who can turn raw model power into reliable, self-healing code.

Claude Agent SDK [Full Workshop] — Thariq Shihipar, Anthropic

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Moving from "Model-as-a-Service" to "Environment-as-a-Service" where the harness matters as much as the weights.
  2. Replace your bespoke API tools with a single bash tool. Use a well-structured file system.
  3. The next year belongs to builders who stop treating LLMs as chatbots. They will treat them as system administrators.

Building durable Agents with Workflow DevKit & AI SDK - Peter Wielander, Vercel

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Transition: We are moving from "fire-and-forget" prompts to durable execution environments where state is as important as the model itself.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Wrap your existing tool calls in the `useStep` function to gain instant retry logic and execution history.
  3. The Bottom Line: Reliability is the primary moat in the agent market. Builders who adopt durable workflows will move to production while others are still debugging local scripts.

Build a Prompt Learning Loop - SallyAnn DeLucia & Fuad Ali, Arize

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The move from manual prompt engineering to automated prompt learning. As models become commodities, the proprietary loop that refines them becomes the moat.
  2. Implement a Train-Test Split for your prompts. Use a subset of failure data to generate new rules and validate them against a separate holdout set to ensure the logic holds.
  3. Reliability is the only metric that matters for agent adoption. If you are not using a feedback loop to update your system instructions, you are building on sand.

The Netflix Culture Code That Changed Entertainment Forever | Reed Hastings Interview

Invest Like The Best

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The move from industrial management to creative inspiration. As AI automates routine tasks, the only remaining value is high-variance human creativity.
  2. Apply the Keeper Test today. Ask your leads which team members they would fight for and provide generous exits for the rest to reset your talent bar.
  3. Scaling doesn't require more rules. It requires better people. If you can maintain talent density, you can run fast while your competitors choke on their own handbooks.

Welcome to AIE CODE - Jed Borovik, Google DeepMind

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from general-purpose LLMs to specialized coding agents that operate on the entire codebase rather than isolated snippets.
  2. Audit your current stack for agentic readiness. Prioritize tools that integrate with Gemini 3 or similar high-reasoning models to automate repetitive pull requests.
  3. Code is the substrate of the digital world. If you control the means of AI code generation, you control the speed of innovation for every other industry.

Claude Agent SDK [Full Workshop] — Thariq Shihipar, Anthropic

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The industry is moving from "Chat-as-Interface" to "Computer-as-Interface" where models operate directly on file systems.
  2. Replace your complex list of fifty tools with a single Bash tool and a secure sandbox.
  3. The winners in the agent race will not build the best prompts. They will build the best infrastructure for models to execute code.

The Airdrop Mistake Luca Netz Won’t Repeat

The DCo Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Prioritize Early Alignment: To benefit from Abstract's ecosystem rewards, demonstrate commitment now, not right before a potential airdrop.
  2. Community Over Opportunism: Future rewards will favor genuine holders and active community members over short-term profit seekers.
  3. No Second Chances: Don't expect warnings or sympathy if you try to "grift" the system; Netz is committed to protecting loyal users.

The Return of Corporate Blockchains | Roundup

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Enterprise blockchains are making a comeback by embracing crypto, not avoiding it, marking a significant shift from the failed attempts of 2018.
  2. The success of corporate chains hinges on strategic focus, prioritizing ecosystems and BD, over trying to dominate the entire value chain, as too much control can stifle innovation.
  3. Public, permissionless blockchains must remain relevant by continually finding product-market fit in emerging segments to maintain their monetary premium amid increasing competition from verticalized corporate chains.

How MetaDAO Became Solana's Breakout Token Launchpad | Kollan House

Lightspeed

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Embrace Futarchy: Explore and implement market-driven governance mechanisms to enhance decision-making in decentralized organizations, reducing reliance on traditional, potentially biased, governance models.
  2. Prioritize Investor Protection: Adopt capital formation models, such as MetaDAO's, that offer robust investor protections through market-based checks and balances, mitigating risks associated with centralized control and poorly informed token allocation.
  3. Prepare for Crypto-Native Solutions: Build cryptonative primitives that can compete with traditional financial systems. This can prevent tradFi from dominating the blockchain space.

Institutional Flows Will Overpower the 4-Year Cycle

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The traditional four-year crypto cycle is dead; institutional adoption and regulatory tailwinds will drive the next phase.
  2. Focus on easy-to-understand narratives; financial advisors allocate minimal time to crypto, so simple concepts are crucial.
  3. The increasing convergence of equity and tokens will lead to a new era of ICOs, revolutionizing fundraising and investment.

Inside Gary Gensler’s SEC: A Conversation with Former Crypto Policy Advisor

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Regulation is inevitable:** Crypto's foray into traditional financial activities necessitates regulatory oversight to protect investors and maintain market integrity.
  2. **Compliance is key:** Crypto firms seeking legitimacy and long-term sustainability must prioritize regulatory compliance and address inherent conflicts of interest.
  3. **Philosophical divide persists:** Fundamental disagreements regarding decentralization, code as speech, and the role of intermediaries continue to fuel tensions between the SEC and the crypto industry.
