Video | a16z Co-founder Marc Andreessen: Within Five Years, AI Chips Will Become Cheap and Abundant

In January 2026, a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen stated in an interview that the future of the AI industry may follow a structure similar to the computer industry: a few "God models" running in giant data centers and a large number of small models deployed on various devices. At the same time, he predicted that the shortage of AI chips would not persist in the long term. NVIDIA's current high profits will attract more competitors, with AMD and major cloud players developing their own chips to catch up. Over the next five years, AI chips may become cheaper and more readily available.
