Looks like YC is moving to 4 cohorts annually -- and I agree with you on the AI product density in the past few batches -- but I've heard (from two alum) that the smaller sub-cohorts (i.e., within a batch) make it feel smaller and more intimate.

Yes.

250ish per cohort meant the partners were spread very thin, and founders could realistically connect with just a subset of batchmates.

I'm glad they're scaling back the batch size.
