We've got some big news today.
We're announcing Greylock 18, our 18th venture fund.
It's a billion and a half billion dollars.
Yeah, I'd say overall is we're very early in this wave and we think there's going to be winners up and down the stack.
And I think the only mistake you can make in AI is underestimate the size of the wave and think it's binary in outcome.
So, you know, we've invested up and down the stack and the foundation model layer, you know, we're investors in Anthropic and open AI.
Yeah.
In infrastructure, you know, we invested in base time back in 2019 before generative AI was a thing.
Today, they're the leaders in inference, right?
Braintrust, I remember in 2023, no one was using the word evals, right?
Notion was using their product.
And today, fast forward, evals are the core IP of AI and most of the value is using Braintrust for it, right?
So we've done a lot in infra and then, of course, a lot in applications.
We're going to see new opportunities up and down the stack.
So on the infra side, I think, you know, you guys are talking about agents every single day.
There's going to be a new set of abstractions around infrastructure to actually power agents.
Of course, inference and observability is going to play a big part of that, but there's more to do there.
There's new things in data structures, databases, runtimes, et cetera.
On the application side, I think we're just getting started.
It wasn't until, you know, the set of model releases in December of 25 that you actually had robust agents.
