“Think we've seen this in a lot of AI markets because these markets are large enough, they can have multiple winners that are specialized. Like we've seen this for LLMs, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, like there's XAI, there's all of these companies that have models that are really good at particular things. And we've also seen this a ton in image and video, which I think has a lot of corollaries to vibe coding, which is based on what type of user you are or what you care about, to what extent you need to reference an existing character and existing design formats, something like that. Do you want it on your phone and super fast or do you want it in the browser and slower and the highest quality? Like there are many companies that are doing super well focused on different segments or verticals of this giant market.”

“Probably expect to see even more because it feels like we're so, so early totally. And many of the users of these products are probably still pretty technical. Yes. And so there'll be a version of vibe coding that's truly consumer grade. Yes.”

“And that's a great point, too, which is like the consumer users often just want something to look cool and work and not have security issues, whereas more business-oriented users, it often needs to integrate with what already exists for the business, whether that's like a design system, an aesthetic, or whether that's, you know, their CRM. Or the emailing platform they use, or sort of all of these different products that it needs to connect to that are external to the vibe coding tool.”

“And maybe invest in deep integrations into core business systems and things like that. Whereas the consumer version, you might actually just want people to vibe code on mobile and get something that works in five minutes.”

“And that will probably imply very different product experiences, product constraints, and also go-to-market strategies. Like if you are allowing any consumer to vibe code like a fun app to share with their friends or partner or whatever, you probably want to be going viral on TikTok and wheels versus if you are building a vibe coding platform for designers to prototype new features in an enterprise or for engineers to make internal tools, you might want to even have top-down sales or at least be kind of product-led growth within businesses.”

“Of the specific features, I just want it to work. Yeah, you probably weren't super opinionated on the coding language or exactly what database was using all the back end stuff of what it was built on top of, you didn't really care. You just wanted it to work. Whereas there's many like enterprise or true developer use cases where they very much want to control every element of the stack and that level of inflexibility. That product would just not work for them And so I think what we are hoping to see basically is like specialized players emerge that offer the best product for a particular demographic of user or for a particular use case.”

“But I think the truth in terms of what we've seen, at least, is those are very different products, both in terms of the use cases, the integration and the level of complexity required. And there probably should be, for example, a platform that is like the training wheels version of vibe coding for consumer non-developers like us that does not allow you to make mistakes like exposing the API key.”

“Vibe coding a lot of apps where, like, I feel like they assume you have a level of technical knowledge to be able to fix things or to even know what a potential problem could be. And so, yeah, Nisha and I published, Anisha was actually an engineer, and I collaborated on this post around basically how we think vibe coding will evolve in the future. I think today you have a bunch of awesome platforms that are trying to be everything to everyone. They're saying like an engineer at a company can use this to develop internal tools or”

“So, the vibe coding platforms are, I think they assume that you have a certain level of knowledge already. So if you go to publish a website or an application, they won't stop you and say, hey, here's the security issue. Here's a compliance issue. Fix this before you publish. Yes. And so it was a really interesting learning experiment for me, I think first of like, I think there will be, and this is what you got at in your blog post. Yes. There'll hopefully be a V2, V3, V5 of these vibe coding platforms that are built for people who don't know these things already.”

“Anyway, but the surprise was so one, the fact that someone who's completely non technical can build something that thousands of people, and I did it in like a couple hours in an evening, if that, that a couple thousand people can use overnight is like amazing and so exciting. Yes. My second learning was, however, We're early in vibe coding because these products are definitely built for people who are already technical.”

“I was fighting it myself making people put in. I was not making anyone pay for it to put in their own API key. So it was to the point where I had exhausted it. So instead of calling the model, it was just kind of stitching together half of your photo with half of Jensen's photo to produce a really kind of 2005 Microsoft paint looking output, which has its own charm. Yeah.”

“And so I thought, okay, I can vibe code this. So I vibe coded on Lovable, an app that connected to fall to pull in the flux context API. And then you could upload your own photo. It would generate the selfie with Jensen, which you can download. I used it. It was great. It worked so well. So a lot of people. So I publish it on Twitter. A lot of people used it. It got used by like 3,000 people overnight to the point where when I woke up, I had exhausted my self-imposed budget of $100 to spend on API calls here. Yes. And so you were.”

“I should have read the video, exactly. So I did that. I generated that myself on Korea. And then I thought, I bet other people might feel like me and might want this. And so I'd love to create an app where anyone can upload a photo and get a selfie with Jensen. Yes.”

“I thought, hey, I'm seeing on my ex feet all the time. Everyone has a selfie with Jensen at NVIDIA. How do they get there? In his classic leather jacket, he must be spending all of his time taking selfies now because everyone has one and I don't. And so I was thinking there's all these new amazing models out there like Flux Context that can kind of take an image, say, of Jensen taking a selfie with someone else and put my stick me in there instead, replace me. Yeah, I should”

“Awesome. And then our last big topic of this week is around vibe coding, which continues to explode. I think we have two things to talk about here. One would be our own experiments in the world of vibe coding, which relates to a piece that you and Anisharya put out.”

“Whereas businesses, enterprises, big media companies, gaming companies, like they care and they need to be able to say this music model we used was trained on fully licensed data to not kind of open themselves up to any liability issues.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yeah, so I think a lot of consumers basically don't care if they're using a music model that's trained on licensed data or not because they're not really monetizing or many of them are not monetizing stuff that they make with this music.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yes, and the R days, and like it's often a very complicated ecosystem of who owns the rights to a specific song or to an artist's voice or something like that. And so, yeah, I think a lot of folks have thought that you could not get a good quality music model training on licensed data because it's hard and it's expensive and it takes a long time and it's hard to get them to agree to license you the data. From what I've seen and from my own experience, folks have been really impressed by 11's outputs.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yes, it's been in the works for a bit. The really interesting thing about it is it's trained on fully licensed music, which means, so music is one of those spaces where the rights holders are extremely litigious. And so compared to things like image or video, it's been harder for music companies to sort of avoid stepping on the toes.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yeah, yeah, totally. I think for all sort of agents or like self learning systems, it's going to be fascinating. So eagerly awaiting that one to come out. And then, yes, our portfolio company 11 labs also released their music model, which is super exciting.”

“What you're alluding to They're manually creating. For agents to wander through and learn. I could see that for digital agents, but even like physical agents operating within robots or something like that. Yeah, totally.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Right. Okay. But I think the second gaming example is more like kind of what you're alluding to, which is more personal gaming, which is like every person puts in an image or video or text prompt and then is sort of creating their own minigame where they're wandering through a scene, which is sort of a totally new market that I think a lot of people will love. Yeah. And then the third example, which is a little out of our wheelhouse, but a lot of folks are talking about how creating sort of these interactive dynamic worlds are really good RL environments for agents to be trained on how to interact with the world, like how things move, going around scenes, interacting with objects. It's been a big space of conversation right now. And sort of there's a desperate need for more. There's so many companies now selling these RL environments for agents that they're manually creating and something like a Genie 3 could make that much easier and sort of allow you to generate unlimited environments for these agents to wander through and learn.”

“How do you cons around that Interesting video. So you're almost recording the video. Your recording video as you move through the 3D world model, which then becomes like a movie or a film, essentially.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“And it's expensive and probably takes a long time. Exactly. I think there'll be a couple use cases. So I think video is an obvious one where if you're generating this scene in real time and then controlling how you or any character or objects are moving through it, that enables much more control over a video that you could then kind of screen capture what is happening than you would get from a traditional video. So”

“They haven't released it publicly yet. They invited some folks to try it out at their office who were kind of sharing results. They shared a bunch of clips. I'm personally really excited to get my hands on it. I think the natural question we've all had with this use case and seeing the demos is like, this looks amazing. Like, what are we going to do with it?”

“Those were really cool. And it's not just famous paintings, they've shown a bunch of examples of from a text prompt you can create a world, from an image you can create a world. They've even shown taking VO3 videos and creating a world around it with Genie 3. And the cool thing about Genie 3 is there's controls where you can move the character around. So you can control like, now go to the left and then the scene sort of regenerates to show you what you would see on the left. It's incredible. Yeah.”

“But they had a whole section of the GPT5 live stream where they brought up someone who had cancer and was using ChatGPT to upload all of her documents, get suggestions about treatment, kind of talk through the diagnosis and what she could do next. And they talked about how GPT-5 was kind of the highest scoring model on this thing called Health Bench, which is a benchmark they trained with 250 plus physicians to measure how good an LLM is at answering medical questions. And so I think it's kind of a really big statement that open AI has leaned into this space so heavily versus being like, hey, there's a lot of liability around medical stuff. Our AI chatbot is not a licensed doctor. We're going to kind of let people do this off label, but we're not going to endorse it. It seems like now they're really endorsing it.”

“Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So they talked about this a lot in the live stream, and I was surprised they leaned in on this. I'm sure we've all seen the viral Reddit posts about like chat GPT saved my life. My doctor said, wait for this imaging scan. It turns out I had this horrible thing that I was able to get treated immediately. And Sam and Greg Brockman had been retweeting these posts for a while, which I was like, that's interesting because you think they, from a liability perspective, they'd lean that. Yeah.”

“Like data and sharing, and like all of these things, which obviously it's good to have those, but like went way beyond other states to the point where it made it difficult for apps to operate there, which is, in my opinion, then bad for the consumer. I think there are like a lot of people are sort of now grappling with this question of what does it mean for AI to offer medical support or mental health support. I don't expect we'll see the other states go in the direction of Illinois, partially because it's just so hard to regulate. Like how can you control what someone is talking to their”

“I feel like Illinois always does weird stuff. Like, we've been consumer investors for too long. And remember, in like 2017, 2018, we would literally talk to social apps, like consumer social apps that were like, we've launched everywhere except for Illinois because they have all these like crazy regulations around like”

“Wide ranging to the extent that some AI mental health companies have already shut down new operations in Illinois or kind of prohibited new users from signing up. It's basically anything that's kind of ongoing support or even personalized advice around specific emotional and mental issues is now counted as therapy and is technically illegal in Illinois. I am confident ChatGBT is doing this and honestly is doing it well For a lot of people, and so I guess my question is to what extent is this ever going to be enforced? Because they can't see people's individual chats.”

“Person you know. Yeah, I agree. I do want to spend 30 seconds on that mental health and health overall use case though. Yeah. It's interesting timing because also last week the state of Illinois just passed a law banning AI for mental health or therapy without kind of the supervision of a licensed professional. And it's pretty interesting because the law is...”

“Exactly. And of course, classic consumer is no, we don't want that. Give us the old toy back. Give us our fun friend who kind of mirrored the way we spoke to it and was over the top and sometimes kind of crazy, but was like really fun to chat with. Yeah. Yeah. And I think to me, honestly, this exemplifies something I've suspected for a long time, which is I don't necessarily think the like smartest model that scores the best on sort of all of these objective benchmarks of intelligence will be the model that people want to chat with. I think there's going to be a huge market for more of these companionship entertainment just having fun type models that doesn't need to be like the highest IQ person you know.”

“Yeah, I think there's image generation on five, right? Like I imagine some of the templates and the editing tools they plan to just move over between the models, they may not have gotten there yet. I think it's so funny because if you imagine yourself in the shoes of one of these researchers, you're like, we trained what is on the benchmarks, clearly a much better model. Like it's smarter, it's better at math, it's better at coding, it can answer medical questions now, which they really focused on in the live stream. So of course everyone will love and embrace with open arms. It's like step forward and model intelligence.”

“I was actually kind of surprised they even got rid of 40. I know there had been a lot of jokes about what a pain it is to have to select the model and kind of the dashboard was always getting bigger. But they had even started building some UI around Furo image generation. They had some preset templates you could use. And so the fact that they didn't just add on five as an option, but took away your ability to use every other model was a little bit surprising to me.”

“People are freaking out. And I think that's why Sam sort of rolled it back. And I think he actually may have announced this on Reddit in a comment in response to all of this backlash where he was like, we hear you guys will bring back 4.0 for the paid users.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yes, exactly. And I think there are kind of two separate issues here. So, one is the sort of like glazing excessive validation. Like it said like, you're the best. You should totally do that. That's the best decision for like everything you said, even if it was ridiculous, which is a problem that I think I'm glad they're working on and getting rid of. Because let alone everyone's concerns about GBT The second thing is does it just have a fun and engaging and more casual human feeling personality? And I think that actually maybe took a step back from GPT 40 to GPT-5. And that is what people, like if you look at the chat GPT subreddit.”

“Totally. And you can see from the examples people use, it's much better generating things, it's much better debugging, etc. But a lot of consumers aren't using it for code. A lot of consumers just want to chat with it. And there's a bunch of examples of how it's a lot less expressive, emotional, and fun. Like it doesn't really use exclamation points. It doesn't really use emojis. It doesn't send things in all caps like it used to.”

“Yeah, so I've talked to a bunch of folks about this. I think a widespread conclusion is GPT 5 is really good at, especially like front end code. I think a lot of the model companies are really focusing on coding as a major use case, a major driver of economic value, something they can be really good at And you can tell in the results from GPT 5. And they emphasize”

“Which I think. Yeah, this one was sort of fascinating because obviously it's been a while since OpenAI had had a major LLM release since GPT-4. And so people were like very eagerly awaiting GPT-5. But yeah, as soon as I got access to GPT-5, I wanted to compare the outputs to GPT-4 and I immediately noticed GPT-4 was gone.”

“Would say Yeah, I'd say none of the existing social platforms have leaned that heavily into AI creative content. And a lot of the AI creative tools, I think, can and should and will sort of integrate more social, but today most of them have just done relatively basic feeds and liking, not really comments, not really like a following model. And so I think this is going to be a super interesting proof point about what a more social AI creative tool looks like.”

“I'm not a Yeah, I'm excited to see where they take it. It feels like we've seen meta experiment a little bit with kind of AI within their core products. They've done the AI characters you can talk to and then uploading a photo to get an avatar where you can generate photos of yourself. But none of it felt quite right, I would say. Yeah, in terms of baking into the core existing experience on Instagram or Facebook and Grock feels a little bit different, so I'm excited to see where they go with it.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Yeah, for sure. And I think that allows the meme generation. And even VO3, half the time I try to do an image of myself, it'll be like blocked due to our prominent person thing. And I'm like, I'm not, what do you mean? I'm not a prominent person. But like in that photo, I guess I look too much like some celebrity or prominent person and it decided to block it. And I've never had that problem on Grock, which makes it just so fun and easy to play around with.”

“Has been tweeting many imagined generative photos and videos of himself. Which I think is another big differentiator. And something we've really only seen from VO3, and even then, it's mostly characters versus celebrities. But it comes from Grock's kind of uncensored nature, which is pretty. I think Cool and unlocks a whole bunch of new use cases.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Totally. Yeah. I think for many people, they're not professional creators. And so they don't want to make an image in one place and then go and download it and then port it into another website. Because often very few other tools are on mobile, especially for video generation. So I think it's sort of huge that you kind of can click one button and get a video on your phone in less than a minute. That feels like a massive step forward for consumer applications of AI creative tools. And I think Elon and a bunch of folks on the XAI team have been tweeting about this. One of the big use cases is like animating memes or animating old photos or like things that you already have on your phone because you can access the camera roll so quickly through the Grock Mobile app.”

“For generations. And Grok images are basically instant, and the videos are pretty fast as well. And so I found myself iterating very frequently. It's now become in less than a week, like my go-to tool for image generation on mobile And even the video I would say is getting there, especially if they're training a better model.”
2025-08-13 · a16z Podcast · Grok, Genie 3, GPT-5 & the Rise of Vibe Coding · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Animated in the Grock, or even if you see someone else's photo posted on X, you can turn it into a video or also edit the image with Grock, which is really exciting. Totally. I think one of the coolest things about Grock Imagine, to your point, it's not the most powerful model. It's not VO3 On video, I would say the audio generation is okay, but not great. But it's fast, so fast, which I think for a lot of people has been kind of the real barrier to doing image and video generation more seriously is you put in a prompt, you press go, and then sometimes you're waiting 30, 60, 90 seconds for a generation.”

“Yeah, I think that's one of the things that's really unique about it. I would say it's not the most powerful kind of image or video generation model that exists. Elon has tweeted a bunch about how they're training a much bigger model. But I think what's really cool about it is it's sort of one of the first really truly social kind of forays into AI image and video generation. And what you mean by it being integrated into the X app is like now when you post a photo on X, you can like long click and press and immediately turn it into a video animated in the Grock.”

“So, this week we are going to start with Grok, which has had a bunch of big updates over the last month or so, I'd say. So obviously Grok 4 came out. The Grok Companions caused a huge stir, particularly Annie and Valentine. But I think more recently what's been really interesting is all of the image and video generation features on Grok Imagine.”
