And yeah, like the you know the the scaling era kind of like, you know, probably suck to that.
um well I I think I've just been like patient to that from um Alice Skeeper's interview.
I don't think it's over, but there's definitely something interesting happening right.
Like the the thing I was saying about like IOI and IMO.
Um
I think we'll still continue more or less on the same track.
Like clearly, you know, like uh these labs are like releasing their new pre trained models and they're like still doing like like much better than before.
So I think um
I think scaling is still happening, but um
I think it's happening in a different
