Andreessen Horowitz has announced the launch of the "Machine Age Fund," a new fund focused on investing in the infrastructure powering the next era of artificial intelligence. The fund aims to address bottlenecks in AI development that extend beyond models to hardware, chips, memory, networking, power, and data centers.
“Today, A16Z is announcing the machine age fund. A new fund dedicated to the infrastructure powering the next era of AI.”
“And why we believe the next major bottleneck in AI isn't necessarily the model. It's everything underneath it. Chips, memory, networking, power, cooling, and data centers are all being pushed beyond what they were originally designed to handle.”
