What Comes After AI Agents? With Builders from OpenAI, DeepMind & NVIDIA

⚠️ Important:

Bring a physical government-issued photo ID (18+; digital IDs not accepted).

📝 Event Details

AI has a paradox. Training a frontier model now costs about 3.5x more every year, yet using AI has gotten about 13x cheaper every year since GPT-3. The smartest AI is getting harder to build and cheaper to use than ever.

So who actually wins the AI revolution? The frontier labs, the founders building on top, the investors backing them, or whoever owns distribution and infrastructure? And as agents take over more of our work, what comes next?

Join FounderCoHo at the AWS Builder Loft for an evening with builders from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and NVIDIA: a candid panel, open Q&A with your toughest questions, and curated networking with the founders, researchers, and investors shaping what's next.

⚙️ What We Will Cover

We're four years into the AI wave and still early. Our panelists will tackle the questions every builder and investor is asking:

Who captures the value: labs, founders, or investors?

Where value lands: agents, distribution, or infrastructure?

What comes after agents: memory, continual learning, world models, or new kinds of companies?

What to build and back now as intelligence keeps getting cheaper.
