Comment from Matt Perault (Head of AI Policy) and Jai Ramaswamy (Chief Legal Officer at Andreessen Horowitz)

Summary: Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm, supports the issuance of new business collaboration guidance that includes clear safe harbors for procompetitive activities like AI benchmarking, interoperability, and cybersecurity information sharing. They argue that the current lack of guidance creates legal uncertainty that disproportionately burdens startups ("Little Tech") and urge the Agencies to calibrate these safe harbors based on the nature of the collaboration and the market power of the participants.
