Like they need, one, like need a lot more resources.
You need to burst up and down a lot versus like Kubernetes designed for like slow scaling and more for like web server use cases.
And also, there's just a lot more specialization in what kinds of environments these workloads run in.
Sometimes they need accelerators, sometimes they need different kinds of images.
And this is just a consistent thing that we saw across a lot of companies.
That would be the next step.
That was really important because we...
Really didn't want people to spend so much time writing YAML.
And it seemed like you could really condense the surface area of what you're doing, put it in code so you can actually operate on it, just so you can operate on other code and build stuff that's more expressive and dynamic.
And so, yeah, that was always a very important part.
Yeah, we never really got pushback for that because the nice about modal is you can bring whatever code you have.
And sure, the DSL is at the sort of configuration there for what hardware you're using, how you're scaling things up, but you still own the code.
And that's been an important part of our story, even as we do inference now.
We've actually changed our SDK team to think about agent experience, developer experience.
And we think that the same benefits that apply for DX also actually apply for AX, which is why would you have an agent read through hundreds of Kubernetes files and write YAML that's not even typed when it can basically make a couple of changes in a decorator and it gets this self-provisioning runtime of
being able to see its changes live in action.
Yeah, it just seems from the customers we talk to, they actually find the model is way faster to use for agents versus operating on a different substrate.
Yeah, I mean, people aren't looking at code.
One thing we actually still see is really important is observability.
