But the reason Replit, when a new model comes out, we're able to build state-of-the-art performance even better than the lab itself.

Like we're big partners with Google and Gemini is one of the best models at design.

I would say our products are better at design using Gemini than Google's products.

It's because we know how to evaluate these models, how to get the best performance out of them.

And then we have a bunch of proprietary benchmarks that we use.

And finally, we do a lot of A-B testing as well.

So that's really what you're doing as a company that is building on top of foundation models.

I'm not sure about this question.

Is their intention to actually innovate and play in the market fairly?

Is their intention to destabilize?

Is their intention to destroy the value of US AI labs?

I don't know.

There are reasons to be careful and there are reasons to be optimistic about the progress.

I don't think there's a moral issue per se.

I don't think they're using slave labor or anything like that.

I would have a security issue, especially since we have enterprise customers that depend on us for sensitive data and things like that.

So we haven't taken the step yet.

I wouldn't preclude it from taking it in the future.

I would love to see a US corporation investing in open source.

It looks like Nvidia is making moves in that regard.
