Shaw: A more powerful model is always advantageous for AI Agents. Previously, OpenAI was leading, and now it is Deepseek.

Jinse Finance reported that ai16z co-founder Shaw wrote on the X platform that more powerful models are always advantageous for AI agents. Over the years, AI labs have been surpassing each other in benchmark testing and capabilities. Sometimes Google is ahead, sometimes OpenAI is ahead, sometimes Claude is ahead, and now it's DeepSeek's turn. The trend is that the world's largest and most capital-rich companies are competing for a technology that will ultimately be free, open source, and run on computers at home without any cost. Both sides of this competition have always been winners: hardware and consumer products. Nvidia is always the winner, and its products continue to benefit from the latest models. AI agents are a new application paradigm - the core argument is that applications need to be migrated to social media platforms where users are, and agents are a form of application that can exist entirely on social media without users having to leave. The next version of Eliza is currently being built, and it will only get better from now on. Thousands of teams are building the technology, and over 500 people have contributed to the core repository, and this number will continue to rise as it develops.
