3. A16Z: 4 Breakthrough Points in the Generative AI Field

Large-scale language models (LLMs) have become a hot topic in the technology industry, providing us with some amazing experiences—from writing a week’s worth of code in seconds to generating more empathetic conversations than those with humans. By using tens of thousands of GPUs to train on trillions of tokens, LLMs have demonstrated outstanding natural language understanding capabilities and transformed fields such as copywriting and code, propelling us into a new and exciting era of generative AI. Like any emerging technology, generative AI has also faced some criticism. While these criticisms partly reflect the limitations of LLMs’ current capabilities, we see these obstacles as opportunities for further innovation rather than fundamental flaws in the technology.

5. The Threat of Cosmos to Traditional Blockchains

Single blockchains are great while they exist, however, they eventually run into the blockchain trilemma (decentralization, scalability, security) problem as they attempt to do everything at each node (consensus, data availability, settlement, and execution). Avoiding this problem using modular blockchains is achieved by breaking up many roles of the blockchain into different layers. Thus, the blockchain can scale in a minimally compromising way.
