And again, we had to write a lot of software in order to make it stay on track.

And now since Opus 4.6, autonomy is built into the model.

And so you have to understand what is the model capability and how much infrastructure you have to build in order to make it perform.

And you have to stay ahead of that in order for your product to stay the most innovative on the market.

So Anthropic has been the sort of workhorse for over a year right now.

It's like the...

core agent loop because it can run for a long time coherently.

But the few things have changed.

Google's Gemini's models are the best at price performance, for example.

You know, given their price, where do they sit on the Pareto frontier, right?

And so for tasks, for example, like tasks like code search, we might create a sub-agent that is cheaper and has good enough performance, and we offload that from the main core loop.

So we now we use, and I wrote this thesis back in 22, I call it the society of models.

Now we use models from every provider.

Actually, at some point we were sending more tokens to Google than we were sending Anthropic, despite Anthropic being that kind of the core workers.

concept of agent labs, right?

We talk about AI labs, but there's agent labs, us, Cursor, some of these other companies.

Our goal is to start with the user problem.

What are we trying to fix?

What are we trying to build?

And walk back to the technology and use whatever model we need to use.
