That's interesting because when Meta does open source, right, they do open source because their model comes from, their money model, their revenue model comes from Facebook and the other things that they own for ads and that kind of stuff.
But NVIDIA's open source sounds actually kind of really interesting because
because it's also not associated with their revenue, but it is much closer to their vision in terms of revenue rather than just getting all the eyeballs and selling people the things, you know?
Yeah.
I have a story that was highlighted in Science earlier this month.
It is a new artificial nose that can detect certain smells for people who don't have a really strong sense of smell.
And my older sister...
It is one of those people.
She cannot detect the scent of like a leaking gas stove and those kinds of things.
And that has been a real thing that has made her concerned in her life.
Right.
So it's a little device that tells you when an odor is present, kind of the same way that a cochlear implant converts sound, but for smell.
Now, the Science article didn't mention the AI in the article, but we do know that the Daegu Kyungbuk Institute of Science and Technology did also build a next-gen AI-powered e-nose device
And basically what it does is the sensor arrays light up and then that creates a pattern and machine learning learns to read the pattern, which then interprets, yes, this is a smell that is a problem and you should be aware of it.
Or no, this is a normal kind of thing, not a problem.
So I am making the leap that the science article is talking about a nose that also uses the same kind of thing with a sensor array and then pattern recognition.
But it's very exciting.
And I don't know, like I might prefer, right?
I might prefer not to have the sensory scent thing stuck in the middle of my face.
Am I having to actually smell it in order to make an assessment, right?
