We're talking about very powerful models within some domain.

And we are seeing within distribution, very, very powerful capabilities that are, you can definitely call them superhuman because there's no way, for example, I as an individual scientist could analyze the reams and reams of data coming out of the lab here without AI models.

There's just no chance.

And so the fact that you can take all of the data from training from a physical lab and just throw it at a bunch of AI models and ask it to analyze things is a superhuman capability.

We didn't have that before.

Okay, fine.

So let's call that super intelligence.

Within coding, within material science, within each of these domain distributions, we are seeing capabilities that are superhuman.

We didn't have them before.

And in fact, I would say we're even starting to see automation of those tasks, especially where there's coding involved, starting to be somewhat recursive, right?

Where if you have a good coding model, then you can say, okay, let me automate like data analysis.

Let me automate like data cleaning and so on.

Some people would call that recursive self-improvement, totally happening.

But it's not like I can just say to a coding model, please bootstrap a physical R&D lab for me in Menlo Park, get all the permitting, go find Ansh to raise money from, go set up the physical infrastructure and just like bootstrap all this data.

That's just an entirely different kind of frontier and execution and sort of problem.

Yeah, this is a good question.

Okay.

If we want to sort of unlock frontier progress generally across a bunch of domains, then where are the bottlenecks and where will the value accrue?

Context is, is not necessarily the moat.

I would not say yet.
