Let’s go GPT-5 x health! Excited for every healthcare team to have access.
GPT-5 is our best model yet for health-related questions, empowering users to be informed about and advocate for their health. The model now provides more precise and reliable responses, adapting to the user’s context, knowledge level, and geography.

Go @TreyHolterman and the Tennr team! . Excited for you to scale AI workflow automation to the most core units of healthcare information transfer in our system: referrals and prior auth approvals. This will help patients + providers actually access + deliver needed care!.
Huge congrats to @TreyHolterman and the Tennr team on today’s $101M Series C milestone! Tackling one of the most painful parts of US healthcare – delays and denials – Tennr has already helped process millions of patients across hundreds of providers. We have been proud backers

Love to see @US_FDA @DrMakaryFDA trying smart new ideas . More collaboration across areas of regulatory expertise, fewer silos within agency, more rapid feedback, more consistent guidance from FDA as a team. What innovators need!. Curious to learn how vouchers will be granted.

FDA taking a page out of the oncology playbook. “As a surgical oncologist, we made multidisciplinary decisions w a team of doctors on life/death q’s for patients in a 1-day tumor board discussion. This voucher harnesses that model to deliver timely decisions for drug developers”.
Today, the FDA announced its Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher program to accelerate the delivery of crucial treatments to the American public.

Thank you @vijaypande for starting the bio + health team (an entire “vertical” as we are now known at a16z!) — and bringing so many of us together around your optimism for the future of tech and AI in healthcare. We’ll all be cheering you on as you build your next big thing 🙌🏼.
A Personal Update.By Vijay Pande. Today, I’m sharing that after more than a decade, it’s both exciting and bittersweet that I’ll be stepping away from my role at Andreessen Horowitz. This has been one of the most meaningful chapters of my life, and I’m filled with gratitude as I.
