The a16z Show · Monday, August 31, 2026
Gavin Baker of a16z has been asking AI leaders for a single quantitative data point in their business that is worsening, and so far, has found none. This indicates a strong positive trend across various aspects of the AI industry, including open source and specific companies like OpenAI and Grok.
“My standard question is, can you tell me one quantitative data point in your business that's getting worse?”
“So far, the answer has been no.”
“And it's at least in July and August, I haven't been able to find a single person.”
