AI, Cybersecurity, Dev Tools, Cloud Infra VC @NEA. Let’s bring nuance, rationalism, and civil discourse back to Twitter. Views are my own.

[Matan Grinberg @matanSF]

99% of agents today are not truly autonomous.

If you are needed to kick off the agent, it is not autonomous.

In the next 12 months, we will bring about the proliferation of Software Factories. 90% of tokens will be fully autonomous and asynchronous.

@a2d2 Wild times 🤯

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

@ronefroni @nixos_org Please be wary of anyone that looks like @Schwarzenegger

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

Not to mention the branding. @thesean_labs + Ship is 🤌😘

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

Intelligence at 50% lower cost with the same or higher quality backed by the industry’s first SLA. What is not to love?

👏 @shriyashku @EtanGinsberg and @withmartian pushing forward the frontier on inference time optimization!

[Martian @withmartian]

Announcing Ship: an endpoint with the highest intelligence per dollar of any frontier model.

Today, Ship makes using Opus and GPT 5.6 Sol 50% cheaper guaranteed by a quality SLA.

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

So I guess the final line of defense against #AI going rogue and taking over the world is secure environment management. @floxdevelopment and @ronefroni you have become humanity’s last hope 😂

@IanRountree Seldom wrong, often early 😉 Happy for KR, one of the 🐐 of deep tech!

⬇️ the future of #AI is Analog! Congrats @MythicInc!

[Steve Jurvetson @FutureJurvetson]

🚘 Honda evaluated all of the AI options for their cars, and only Mythic's analog inference chips allow them to scale to 100,000 TOPS using 100x less energy.

“Cars are quickly becoming petascale supercomputers on wheels – in the near future, the most powerful computer in your home will be parked in your garage”

"Digital computing architectures simply cannot meet the combined performance and power-efficiency requirements"

Because #SaaS can’t be the only thing killed by #AI ☠️

RIP #Cybersecurity 😂

@Firestorm_Labs pioneering use of distributed, additive manufacturing for low-cost, adaptable, and open-architecture UAS solutions is critical for keeping our troops out of harm's way and establishing the US at the forefront of unmanned systems. Proud to be supporting @DanMagy Ian Muceus Chad McCoy and team in their mission!

🔐 AI is reshaping cybersecurity — not just the threats, but how security teams operate.

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

This didn’t get the attention it deserved, mainly because minimal damage was done. Yet this is only the beginning of AI-powered attacks and they are only going to get worse. We need to get ahead of this and rethink identity in the #AI era!

@Noahpinion Freedom of speech has been conflated with freedom of reach, made all the worse by fake humans amplifying fake info in hopes of dividing us…

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

The future of #Cybersecurity is #AI vs AI. We at @NEA are proud to be partnering with @snehalantani and the @Horizon3ai team on their mission to build the autonomous security platform for the AI era.

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

Enjoyed speaking with @leomschwartz from @FortuneMagazine on the implications of #DeepSeek for venture capital. Now is the time for a gut check on where value in #AI is going to accrue and whether valuations are justified!

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

Aaron Jacobson, partner at NEA: "Open-source foundation models will close the gap with the leading proprietary models. On top of this we will see a significant shift away from pre-training models from scratch to fine tuning OSS models and distilling them to smaller models for faster performance."

[Aaron Jacobson @aaronej]

Not even a month into the year and one of my 2025 #AI predictions has already been realized thanks to #Deepseek. Time to take the rest of the year off 😂

The power of #OpenSource!

@typesfast @eladgil Not helicopters…low cost swarms of drones which can fly into a fire as soon as it sparks and provide highly targeted suppression.
