a16z’s Erik Torenberg hosts OpenRouter’s Alex Atallah and Replit founder Amjad Masad for a discussion on where AI models are heading. They argue the future looks less like one all-purpose model and more like an ecosystem of specialized models routed and combined for each job. The conversation also covers why enterprises want to own their AI capabilities rather than depend on a single provider.
