Summary Report
The Horowitz Andreessen Academy is a free AI-native school for high school graduates where assignments are problems too hard to solve without AI.
- 01. No problem sets: assignments need AI to solve, or generate problems AI can't yet solve; courses in AI inference engineering and AI systems design
- 02. Free with housing and compute; students run their own Pursuit and rotate through co-ops at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta and Stripe; first class autumn 2027
a16z has launched the Horowitz Andreessen Academy, a free, in-person school in San Francisco for people straight out of high school, with $42 million behind it and a first class in autumn 2027. Its pitch: the internet made it possible to know anything, AI makes it possible to do anything. There are no problem sets; assignments are problems too hard to solve without AI, or generating problems AI can't yet solve. Courses include AI Inference Engineering, Designing AI Systems, The Modern Software Developer, Frontier Systems and Founder-Led Sales, with co-ops at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Meta and Stripe.
