We are early in an AI transformation that will touch every industry, institution, and life. Dario Amodei and team are building Anthropic with the ambition and seriousness this moment demands.

Hemant Taneja joins Packy McCormick for a candid Q2 review. Summa is becoming an AI-native hospital system, Janus is rebuilding the wealth experience, and both run on Percepta. Underneath it all sits one question about who the future of intelligence belongs to.

His second quarterly review builds the case around AI's concentration problem: the risk that the future of intelligence belongs to only seven companies. GC's counter-move is to drive the cost of intelligence down until it reaches founders at the edges and people on Main Street, handing agency back to them.

This is the context for Space: An Opening, our series on the future of commercial and sovereign space. We will examine the practical questions: the bottlenecks, business models and infrastructure layers that founders are working to resolve. But we wanted to begin somewhere more fundamental.

General Catalyst's Quentin Clark sits down with Evan Beard to explore the forces that drove him to teach himself engineering in a garage, how he built a robot any worker can program, and the national security case he makes against Chinese-made robotics in American factories.

Helsing is one of the most consequential AI companies in Europe, bringing AI-native software to defense systems. These capabilities strengthen Europe’s deterrence and enable its democratic institutions to flourish. We’re proud to deepen our partnership with Gundbert, Torsten, Niklas, and the entire team.
