And you can't really even get a campus that's

And so, you know, AI starts with these big training campuses that are big, but eventually, and not too long from now, we're going to hear a lot more about how do you fill in the smaller but, you know, state-of-the-art data centers to do what is called inference, which is basically the thing that makes money, which is finding the answers to your questions, you know, querying the model and getting back the answer.
