At SF TECH WEEK by a16z, we moved beyond the usual AI conversations during our “AI-in-action” strategy workshop. Instead of theorizing about potential, we focused on something more interesting → how companies (and our partners) are actually implementing AI today. When you put CTOs, CEOs, and founders in a room to discuss real AI deployments, the conversation naturally shifts from "what's possible" to "what's practical." We explored everything from Gen AI and Co-pilots to Model Fine-tuning and RAG — every tool that achieves specific business outcomes. Hope everyone who attended walked away with actionable insights. These are the kinds of conversations that move the industry forward! Here's what our Founder and CEO, Hardik Jagda had to say about leading this workshop. https://lnkd.in/dd58dYSU

OpenAI’s o1 model recently scored 120 in an IQ test — what’s the first thought on your mind? (Average humans have an IQ of about 100, and it’s nearest competitor, Claude, scored 90!) If your immediate reaction is awe or concern, read on 👇

When you think about what Saket’s saying here — it's both obvious and startling. Obvious because we're already seeing tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Cursor AI transform how code gets written. Startling because it fundamentally changes who gets to create software. During our recent #TechTalk on “Using AI in a coding development workflow”, we found ourselves exploring how the very nature of coding is shifting. It’s creating an entirely new class of creators. This excites us. If you're curious about how AI is reshaping software development, join us for our next tech talk — comment below if you'd like to join and we'll share the details with you! 🚀

People who thrive in interdisciplinary fields make exceptional leaders. Our Sr. Engineering Manager, Saket Tawde, uses game development as an example of how it requires mastery across multiple disciplines, from balancing game mechanics to bringing virtual worlds to life (and everything in between). The unique blend of these skills also provides a blueprint for effective tech leadership. But, what do you think? #Technology #BusinessIntelligence
