The a16z partner behind Cursor, World Labs and OpenRouter just explained what happens when the AI boom slows down. Martin Casado, General Partner at a16z, was on the cap table of three of the biggest AI exits ever, all in three months: - Cursor → SpaceX, $60B - World Labs → AMD, $8.2B - OpenRouter → Stripe, $7.5B What he said: 1. A frontier model from Anthropic or OpenAI lives 3 to 6 months 2. If a lab misses one release, it can lose the whole market 3. For the first time in tech you can give 20 people $1B and they'll use it 4. The hard limits are chips, power and debt, and compute may end
