Andreessen Horowitz has launched a $1.1 billion Machine Age fund focused on hardware and infrastructure for AI. The firm said the fund will invest across chips, memory, data centers, robots, interconnects, cooling, materials, electrical systems and real estate. The fund shifts attention toward the physical systems needed to deploy AI workloads rather than the firm's usual emphasis on software scaling.
