The a16z Show · Sriram Krishnan on Open Source AI's Biggest Week Yet · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

Amazing.

So there's so much going on in open source the last week.

We just discussed we had Grok Build was open source, and then we had Thinking Machines, and then Kimmy K3, and then Quen 3.8.

So you tweeted the other day, Kimmy K3 is a big moment with multiple implications for the entire industry.

Could you go into a little more detail on that?

Right.

So there's been, speaking of open source, there's been some chatter.

Axios just reported this morning that the Trump administration is considering restricting Chinese open source models, either because they are Chinese and might be a national security issue or because they have reached like Fable level capabilities and agentic coding and it could be a cybersecurity issue.

So do you think the U.S.

government will do things that will crack down on open models?

And do you think that there's anything that they should be doing in this respect?

Right, totally.

So another consideration that is going on right now is the idea of AI being able to automate to improve first and then automate AI research.

So, you know, Anthropic has written about this.

OpenAI has talked about, you know, building in first an automated research intern and then working towards automating AI research.

And many people believe that if that were to happen, the pace of AI capabilities progress would go very, very, very fast.

So what kind of policies do you think the government, if any, should have around this?

What do you think the government is going to do around a potential very rapid increase in capabilities of AI if that were to happen in the future?

So to the extent that you can tell us, what are you working on now that you're out of government?

Yeah, well, we're excited.
