PANews reported on January 27 that Shaw , founder of ai16z, pointed out in an article that competition among AI models has promoted technological progress, but the future trend is open source and low-cost models, and hardware and consumer products (such as NVIDIA GPUs and Apple devices) will continue to benefit. As a new application paradigm, AI agents can be embedded in social media, combining model intelligence with platform connections to generate training data and promote AI iteration.

He believes that agent development is more like an engineering problem than a mathematical problem. Currently, top companies have made limited progress due to their emphasis on research and neglect of products, while open source ecology and community collaboration are rapidly advancing agent technology. Although the training resources required for top models are huge, agent technology provides developers with opportunities to participate. Shaw is confident in the future of agents and believes that they will become the core driving force for the practical application of AI, and will be further popularized through open source and productization.
