Сегодня немного в другую сторону. Y combinator выкатил свой список перспективных направлений, который они называют Request for Startups. Причём выкатить они его решили всего через три месяца после предыдущего. Обычно они делают это реже, но слишком много изменений произошло за последние месяцы, особенно в AI. Интересно почитать и подумать. Темы на Spring 2025 такие: Introduction A Secure AI App Store Datacenters Compliance and Audit DocuSign 2.0 Browser & Computer Automation AI Personal Staff for Everyone Devtools for AI Agents The Future of Software Engineering AI Commercial Open Source Software (AICOSS) AI Coding Agents for Hardware-Optimized Code B2A: Software Where the Customers Will All Be Agents Vertical AI Agents Startup Founders with Systems Programming Expertise Inference AI Infrastructure in the World of Test-Time Compute __Introduction From the AI breakthroughs of the last few months, a wave of new startup opportunities have been unlocked.  We used to publish requests for startups no more than once a year, but we decided to publish this list just 3 months after our last one to help point founders to the idea spaces that have just opened up. You've probably followed the recent advances which underlie these ideas. With Operator and Computer Use, AI systems can now use computers. Reasoning models like OpenAI's O1/O3 and Deepseek R1 have made it possible to build AI systems that match and even surpass humans. They also require new compute infrastructure. And DeepSeek R1 has shown the world that there is huge untapped potential in low-level optimizations. These are ideas we think are now worth working on. __ https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs
