4 Andreessen Horowitz partners share their 2026 AI predictions
"Gemini 3's video and image models might give it a significant leg up over ChatGPT, Justine Moore, an investment partner, said, since there's "always nearly infinite demand" for those capabilities among both professional and everyday users. "So many new viral trends are created around new capabilities of the best-in-class image and video models," she said. That can drive users to new products, Moore added. If Gemini keeps up the momentum, it could overcome the challenge of ChatGPT's name recognition."
"Pretty much "everything" is becoming multimodal, Moore said. "What happens when you can put a video in and get images out that are related to or the next iteration of the video? Or you can put a video in and a text prompt about what you want to edit, and get the edited video out?" she said. The changes could also have a big impact on the design world, which often includes combining text and images in creative ways."
ChatGPT currently leads the consumer AI race, but market leadership can change quickly. Image and video capabilities, especially high-quality generative video and images, could become decisive in 2026. Multimodality—models that process text, images, and audio together—will enable workflows like inputting a video and generating related images or edited videos from text prompts. Viral trends driven by best-in-class image/video models can rapidly attract users and shift adoption. App integrations and internal app marketplaces could amplify a model's reach. Focused startups can still find success among dominant players if they maintain clear product focus and execution.
