Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas says a single power user can now consume as much compute as a small team: Meta engineers reportedly spend $10M/year each on coding tools, and Perplexity Computer users run businesses on agent loops costing $10K+/month. In the same thread, Jensen Huang notes $400B of VC went to AI-native companies in six months, 80% built on open models, with most open-source contributions coming from China.
