  • Nvidia has an OpenClaw strategy. Do you?

    Nvidia has an OpenClaw strategy. Do you?
    2026/03/20
    Jensen Huang took the stage at Nvidia's GTC conference this week in his signature leather jacket to deliver a two-and-a-half-hour keynote, projecting $1 trillion in AI chip sales through 2027, declaring that every company needs an “OpenClaw strategy,” and closing with a rambling Olaf robot that had to get its mic cut. The message was hard to miss: Nvidia wants to be foundational to everything, from AI training to autonomous vehicles to Disney parks. On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O'Kane break down what Nvidia's growing web of AI infrastructure partnerships actually means for startups, and more of the week's headlines.

  • The PhD students who became the judges of the AI industry

    The PhD students who became the judges of the AI industry
    2026/03/18
    Artificial intelligence models are multiplying fast, and competition is stiff. With so many players crowding the space, which one will be the best — and who decides that? Arena, formerly LM Arena, has emerged as the de facto public leaderboard for frontier LLMs, influencing funding, launches, and PR cycles. In just seven months, the startup went from a UC Berkeley PhD research project to being valued at $1.7 billion. On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan catches up with Arena co-founders Anastasios Angelopoulos and Wei-Lin Chiang to determine how a team like theirs can build a neutral benchmark when the companies they’re ranking are also their backers. Listen to the full episode to hear: How Arena actually works, and why its founders say you can't game it the way you mighta static benchmark. What "structural neutrality" actually means, and whether taking money from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic is a conflict of interest. How Arena is moving beyond chat to benchmark agents, coding, and real-world tasks with a new enterprise product. Why Claude is currently winning the expert leaderboard for legal and medical use cases. Arena's bet on what comes after LLMs, and why agents are next on the leaderboard.

Chapters: 00:00 Intro 03:00 How Arena's leaderboard works, and why it's different from static benchmarks 07:00 Reproducibility concerns and how to scale 08:45 Can Arena stay independent while taking money from the labs it ranks? 11:15 Diversity, fraud prevention, and abuse mitigation 18:15 Arena's "data moat" 19:20 Agent benchmarking and expert leaderboards 21:40 Open sourcing data 22:45 How do Arena's rankings shape AI development? 24:15 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Wiz's first investor breaks down Google's $32B acquisition

    Wiz's first investor breaks down Google's $32B acquisition
    2026/03/13
    According to Index Ventures Partner Shardul Shah, cybersecurity startup Wiz sits “at the center of three tailwinds: AI, cloud, and security spend.” Those tailwinds powered what just became the largest venture-backed acquisition in history — Google's $32 billion deal, finalized after a declined 2024 offer, antitrust review on both sides of the Atlantic, and an extra $9 billion to sweeten the pot. On this episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, Anthony Ha, Rebecca Bellan, and Sean O'Kane sit down with Shah to dig into what made Wiz worth that price tag, and also cover more of the week's headlines.
