Mukund Jha (Emergent) on production-grade AI app building

Emergent's Mukund Jha — an ex-Googler whose angel backers include Jeff Dean — gives his take on the DeepMind shakeup, then explains how Emergent lets non-technical builders ship production-grade apps like CRMs and inventory systems, noting roughly 80% of users are non-technical and custom software can be built in under a week for under $5,000. He also discusses open-source models like GLM and Kimi passing their evals for the first time, custom routers and falling prices, persistent capacity constraints, and escalating AI security threats.
