🚀Why vertical Al agents could be 10X bigger than Saas, by @Y Combinator's "Light Cone" Podcast

Y Combinator sees vertical AI agents as the next big wave—bigger than SaaS. AI is replacing both software and labor costs, creating billion-dollar opportunities in automating boring, repetitive work.

✨ AIxBlock is SOON launching Multi AI Agent Infrastructure – build AI agents with no code, drag & drop simplicity, full privacy, diverse templates, and seamless multi-agent collaboration.

💡 Want to launch your own AI agent startup, learn more here: https://aixblock.io/ai-agent

Thinking about an AI startup? Check this out.

YC just dropped their latest Requests for Startups (RFS), and there are some seriously interesting ideas—AI agents, automation, dev tools, inference infrastructure, and more.

One thing that stood out: AI can now use computers directly (Operator and Computer Use). And models like OpenAI’s O1/O3 and DeepSeek R1 are leveling up fast—some even outperforming humans in reasoning tasks.

If you're thinking of building something, AIxBlock makes it easy to experiment and launch:
✔️ Tools to build, train, and deploy AI models
✔️ Infrastructure for multi-AI agents (soon)
✔️ DeepSeek R1, v3, and the latest models—always up to date for fine-tuning & deployment
