a16z Says AI Is Lifting Software Hiring, While Markets Draw Sharper Lines Across Software Stocks

Andreessen Horowitz’s latest market note argues that the current reset in software is not a blanket collapse but a sorting process, with investors rewarding companies seen as having stronger AI defenses or tailwinds and punishing others. The piece says valuation multiples on next-twelve-month free cash flow for software companies have fallen to or below 2014 levels, reflecting skepticism about long-term durability rather than near-term results. The note also pushes back on the idea that AI is already destroying entry-level work. Citing data discussed in the report, software developer job postings have risen about 14.6% since the release of Claude Code, even as the broader market fell about 7%. It also points to Revelio, Ramp, ADP, OpenRouter, YipitData, PNC Bank, Indeed Hiring Lab, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, The Brattle Group and EIA data to argue that cheaper intelligence is expanding demand, that firms with heavier AI adoption have seen stronger entry-level hiring trends, and that states adding more data center load have not necessarily seen higher electricity prices. Across software equities, labor, token consumption and energy, the article’s central claim is consistent: lower AI costs are broadening usage, and current labor-market data does not support the view that AI is making human workers obsolete.

Fed Beige Book shows modest U.S. growth across 11 districts as inflation outlook splits

The Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book said U.S. economic activity improved modestly from late May through June, with 11 of 12 regional districts reporting some degree of growth and one, San Francisco, reporting no change. The report, based on information collected by the Fed’s 12 regional banks through July 6 and compiled by the Chicago Fed, pointed to a labor market that remained steady overall and prices that continued to rise at a moderate pace. Nine districts reported moderate price growth, two saw strong increases, and one logged slight growth. The Fed said all districts experienced price growth that was either unchanged or slower than in the prior reporting period. Business contacts cited both the Middle East conflict and tariffs as drivers of higher costs, while some districts also noted that customers had become more sensitive to price increases. The report also showed a split in views on inflation in the months ahead. Some contacts expect inflation to keep running at its current pace, while others see it easing, helped in part by lower fuel prices. Employment increased slightly to moderately in five districts and was little changed in seven, with wage gains generally modest. Several districts said competition for skilled technical workers was pushing up pay.
