    IMEC Says Today’s AI Will Look Ancient in 10 Years

    AI's next bottleneck? It might not be GPUs. Memory prices have risen 700% this year, while power, cooling and data transfer are all becoming major constraints on the AI infrastructure buildout. At the same time, the semiconductor industry is approaching the physical limits of simply making transistors smaller. I sat down with Steven Latré, VP of AI at imec and Thema Board Member, and Adam Chambers of Strike Capital, to talk about what comes after the GPU and where the next wave of value in AI infrastructure could be created. We get into › Why memory is already one of AI's biggest bottlenecks › The power, cooling and data transfer constraints behind inference › Why photonics could become a critical technology for the next generation of chips › What happens as Moore's Law approaches the limits of physics › Why Steven thinks we'll laugh at today's AI in 5–10 years Steven describes imec as the “hidden gem” of semiconductors. The organization works years ahead of the commercial market, with the world's biggest chip companies coming through its facilities to develop technologies that may not reach the market for another 7–10 years. His hottest take is that today's LLMs will eventually look like dial-up internet. “I think we're gonna laugh 5-10 years from now at how old-fashioned AI was today.” Recorded at the Strike x Sourcery Summit in the South of France.

    The $500B Opportunity in Europe’s Defense Buildout

    Europe is preparing to mobilize up to €800B in additional defense spending. But money alone doesn't solve one of its biggest problems. After decades of underinvestment, Europe's defense industry needs to dramatically increase its ability to manufacture at scale. Component lead times can stretch into years, certain contracts can take 4–5 years to deliver and modern warfare increasingly requires systems produced in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. As Aistis Šimaitis puts it, “Volume wins.” I sat down in Monaco with Aistis, Co-Founder & CEO of Onodrim and former head of Palantir's commercial business in Europe, George Hadjiminas, Chief Strategy Officer at Theon International & EFA Group, and Bruno Wejchert, Partner at Strike Capital. We get into › How Ukraine exposed the gaps in Europe's defense industrial base › Why manufacturing and volume matter as much as new technology › Why autonomous warfare requires dramatically cheaper components at massive scale › Why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars” › Bruno's prediction that Europe could produce a $500B defense company within the next decade The conversation covers everything from autonomous systems and defense procurement to the lessons Aistis took from Palantir and why George believes “prototypes don't fight wars.” As billions flow into European defense, the question is increasingly not just who can build the best technology, but who can actually manufacture and deliver it at scale.

    The $10T AI Buildout Has a Photonics Problem

    AI's next infrastructure bottleneck? It's everything connecting them. As AI models grow, they increasingly need to run across massive clusters of GPUs. Traditional copper interconnects are running out of steam, pushing the industry toward optical interconnects and silicon photonics. I sat down with Thema's Herwig Van Hove and Yannick De Koninck in Monaco to go deep on the photonics supply chain powering the next generation of AI infrastructure. Yannick spent five years at NVIDIA, where he helped build its silicon photonics technology from scratch to product-ready maturity. He left what he calls the “golden palace” to join Thema and help build large-scale photonics manufacturing in Europe. Herwig comes from deep tech investing and saw a different problem. The innovation was ready, but the industrial supply chain wasn't prepared for the speed or scale of AI demand. We get into › Why copper is running out of steam inside AI infrastructure › How photonics could reduce the networking and energy bottlenecks facing AI factories › Why the photonics supply chain wasn't prepared for the AI boom › What Yannick learned building silicon photonics at NVIDIA › Thema's plan to begin production in 2027 and build a major photonics manufacturing platform in Europe Thema believes the opportunity extends far beyond a single component. “If you look at an AI factory today, half of that is GPUs, but the other half is the technology to interconnect these GPUs.” Herwig believes Europe has a rare opportunity to turn decades of photonics research into industrial scale, pointing to ASML as proof that Europe has done it before.

    The $3B Company Trying to Beat Amazon Prime

    Stord is on track to cross $1 billion in annual revenue this year after 10Xing the business over the last four years. The goal: level the playing field with Amazon Prime for the other two-thirds of commerce on the internet. I sat down with Stord Founder & CEO Sean Henry in Cap Ferrat to talk about the company's $250M Series F, its massive bet on robotics and AI, and why he believes the biggest value from this technology may ultimately accrue to physical businesses, not the AI and robotics companies themselves. Stord now processes roughly 100 million packages a year reaching about one-third of U.S. households, representing nearly $20 billion in GMV and generating around 8 billion operational data points annually. We get into: › Why Stord is going hard on agentic robotics and AI › The data advantage behind 100M packages a year › Why humanoids may be the wrong form factor for warehouses › How acquisitions and vertical integration are accelerating Stord's scale › Going from Thiel Fellow at 19 to building a $1B+ revenue business Sean also explains the flywheel behind Stord: more volume creates greater density, lower costs and faster delivery, which in turn makes the company more competitive as it scales. His hottest take is that today's AI and robotics companies may eventually become commoditized as the technology becomes cheaper and easier to replicate internally. Instead, he thinks the value accrues to the application layer and real-world businesses putting that technology to work.

    How Apollo, Citadel, Blackstone, & Bridgewater Built Their Brands

    Jen Prosek has spent more than two decades helping build and protect the reputations of some of the biggest names in finance. She is the Founder & Managing Partner of Prosek Partners, which works across private markets, asset management, venture capital, banking and technology — representing clients with roughly $70 trillion in combined AUM. We sat down at the New York Stock Exchange to unpack how the most powerful firms and financiers build their brands, what destroys a reputation, how to recover when things go wrong, and why reputation has become even more important in the age of AI. Jen breaks down the brand strategies behind Apollo, Citadel, Blackstone, Bridgewater and Meta; why Jensen Huang has become an ambassador for AI; how financial firms went from staying “under the radar” to spending millions on brand; and why VC firms are increasingly thinking like media companies. We also get into crisis communications, when leaders should fight back versus stay quiet, why employees are one of the biggest reputation risks inside a company, the rise of podcasts and owned media, why LLMs are a comms strategy, and how founders should think about journalists.

    a16z Just Launched a School

    Gagan Biyani, Founder & CEO of Horowitz Andreessen Academy (fmr Co-Founder of Udemy and Maven), joins Sourcery from a16z’s San Francisco office to unveil a new kind of school built for the AI era. Backed with $42M from a16z and investors including Adam D’Angelo, Tobi Lütke, Tony Xu, Fidji Simo and Shyam Sankar, Horowitz Andreessen Academy is an AI-native, unaccredited residential program designed for some of the world’s most ambitious young builders. Its Founding Class will bring roughly 50 students to San Francisco in Fall 2027 for a one-year, tuition-free fellowship. Instead of optimizing for grades, tests and credits, the Academy plans to optimize for proof of work, high agency and building real projects. Students will learn alongside a network that includes founding partners Anthropic, Anduril, Coinbase, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit and Stripe, with 75–80% of their time intended for projects and building. Gagan and I discuss why AI is forcing education to change, why he believes traditional college still makes sense for most students, the rise of the “super IC,” why young founders shouldn’t rush to raise venture capital, what it means to become an AI-native builder, the importance of failure, and why Silicon Valley itself is central to the Academy’s model.
