Andreessen Horowitz has launched a new “Machine Age” fund with $1.1 billion raised. The firm’s aim with the new fund is to “open the throttle and accelerate the physical buildout of AI.”
The fund will focus on hardware, bucking the firm’s typical focus on the scaling power of software. In a post on the venture capital firm’s website, a16z says the fund will focus on investing in the infrastructure that powers AI — a swath that includes everything from computer chips and memory to data centers and robots.
