And this is the result of many years of alignment work and many years of work to get the model to stay on task.

I have Tag sessions that have been running for weeks at a time.

It's just really, really coherent over a long period of time.

And this is the combination of alignment, just general intelligence.

We finally figured out memory, so it remembers what you told it really well.

And so when you take all this and you combine it with this amazing security system that CISOs love, then it just kind of works.

We're working on extending these existing capabilities that we're seeing in tech.

When we talk about building products on models, there's this idea of product overhang that people talk about.

And what this idea is, the model is able to do something, but the product is getting in the way.

Because when you use a model, when you use Quad, you're not literally sending tokens to an inference server somewhere.

You're always using it through a product and through a harness.

And so sometimes these things get in the way.

And this was like the very first version of Quad Code was like this.

We felt like the model, Sonnet 3.5 at the time, was capable of all of these things.

No product is letting people experience.

And so we built this very general harness that lets people experience it.

And so right now, to me, it feels like another moment just like that, but maybe even bigger, where because people are prompting quad and going kind of back and forth one prompt at a time, this is kind of getting in the way.

And so actually the thing to unhobble the model and to let people experience the full intelligence of the model is using loops, it's using routines, it's using quad tag.

And the thing that's kind of common about this is quad is running for a very long period of time.

And you don't give it a really detailed prompt.
