Founder of AI16Z: Hardware and consumer products will continue to benefit from competition between AI models

AI16Z founder Shaw pointed out in a post that competition among AI models has driven technological progress, but the future trend is towards open source and low-cost models, and hardware and consumer products (such as NVIDIA GPUs and Apple devices) will continue to benefit. As a new application paradigm, AI agents can be embedded in social media, combined with model intelligence and platform connectivity, to generate training data and drive AI iteration. He believes that proxy development is more like an engineering problem than a mathematical problem. Currently, top companies have limited progress due to their emphasis on research rather than product development, and the open-source ecosystem and community collaboration are rapidly advancing proxy technology. Despite the huge demand for training resources for top models, proxy technology provides developers with opportunities to participate. Shaw is confident in the future of agents and believes that they will become the core driving force for the practical application of AI, while further popularizing through open source and productization.
