What's also interesting is that we don't have something very social yet.

Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
There isn't something that pulls your social media data and leans into that part of a person's life.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
So I'm curious if we'll see something there.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
And we've also seen shockingly few games, I think.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
And there may be like a really good opportunity for something that looks like a game, but turns out to be much more.

I mean, we want, we really believe that the, the like everybody in the future will want to use multiple models in the same way that like, even if you could hire a 250 IQ, your chief of staff, um,

But you had the option of hiring five instead for the same, if not lower, cost.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
You would go for five because the five people are just going to be significantly more likely to flag issues that one person would have missed.

And not only that, but it helps you cost optimize significantly.

You don't need Uber Black all the time.

So inference, I think, will be the largest software market, potentially the largest market in the economy.

All knowledge work will need to leverage it.

Otherwise, you're just handicapping yourself dramatically.

And Open Router aims to be a very large chunk of that.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
We do help the model labs find customers as well, and we work symbiotically with them, and same with our providers.

A lot of Open Router is about building things that enterprises need.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
When you bundle a bunch of models together, immediately you realize that there are all these boundaries between models that you have to secure and observe and manage the costs.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
And so OpenRouter is a really good way of managing and securing the boundaries between models and between server tools.
TBPN
Ferrari EV, Enhanced Games, Alcohol & Podcasting | Christopher Hale, Sean Henry, Eric Ries, Alex Atallah
So we're building a bunch of new agentic tools that you'll see in the coming months that help do this, both for enterprises and for individual devs.

Mm-hmm.
