The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

Exactly.

I think the third question, which Mark pointed out, and I think Stratechery wrote about this first, is do they even have the compute for it?

Like it might just be that they have a GPU shortage, which is also why they sort of nerfed Opus 4.6.

I don't know if you followed this.

They took down the default thinking level from high to medium.

People are complaining that it's nerfed.

The a16z Show

It's nerfed because they may be trying to free up GPU capacity.

And the last bit is just like the aura farming of them having a model that's too dangerous for the world to handle.

Like how can you have better marketing than that?

The a16z Show

There's no better marketing than that.

The a16z Show

So it's unclear to me that it's actually too dangerous.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

There are a lot of other reasons why they might actually be holding it back.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

Yeah.

I mean, Boris has said it a few times.

We don't write any code on Cloud Code.

The a16z Show

Cloud Code writes Cloud Code.

The a16z Show
Network Effects, AI Costs, and the Future of Consumer Investing with Anish Acharya on The Kevin Rose Show

So I do buy it.

The a16z Show

And how can that not be true?

It's your and I lived experience as well, right?
