AI is compressing software development timelines by 100x—a quarter of YC startups now have 95% of their code written by AI, and some teams are hitting $10M in revenue with fewer than 10 people. That shift is moving the scarce resource upstream from writing code to knowing what to build, while exposing new bottlenecks: the power grid can't keep up with AI compute demand, and today's AI agents lose all their context the moment a session ends. The race to solve those two constraints—energy infrastructure and persistent AI memory—is where the next wave of startups is forming.
