So it's less the magnitude of power and more where it is and how it moves.

Just by bypassing the grid, bypassing anything to do with interconnect, anything to do with public utilities.

The a16z Show · Designing the Physical World with AI · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

I want to be able to spin up a hardware company the same way that my friends spin up B2B SaaS.

Like, you should be able to say, I want to do something that's considered very hard and just go and do it.

We basically built a compiler that gives the model enough hints that it feels like it's writing a Python program instead of designing a circuit board.

Everything is code.

The last frontier standing is we don't have enough data.

The data is like the thing that we need to generate as a society if we want Circuit Boys to be automated by AI.

So I have to be careful because my timelines are getting shorter and shorter, and I think I need to stay on the reasonable side.

I will say it's really interesting to hear Alex describe AI applied to construction because it can draw very immediate parallels to hardware.

And for this discussion, I would like to stick to circuit boards specifically, which is both the design and the assembly of a circuit card.

I am reasonably confident.

We do a lot of work with Anthropic, for example.

And the jump that we see in design capabilities between each model tier, like publicly available model, is wild.

We thought it would be five years.

I think that I can probably say two.

I think that the caveat here is that there are very, very different types of electronics design.

And making a blanket statement about all of them, I think, is not appropriate.

But I do think that there is a subsect that I really care about, and I'm going to go into details as to why, that I think will be fully automated in two years in terms of design.

The other reason why it's interesting, for us, it's not just design.
