Alex Sacerdote - How to Invest Through Technology Cycles - [Invest Like the Best, EP.477]
Alex Sacerdote argues that AI is creating a new technology stack, with Anthropic emerging as his highest-conviction private investment because leading models, enterprise distribution, and coding use cases are starting to compound. He also lays out Whale Rock’s broader S-curve framework for investing in tech, then applies it to AI infrastructure, software disruption, and how his firm uses AI in research.

Yash Patel argues that AI progress has moved from pretraining and scaling laws into a post-training era dominated by RL, verifiable rewards, and enterprise-specific specialization. He says the next frontier is continual learning from production feedback, while compute scarcity, chip economics, and data access will shape which companies can keep improving.
