We are definitely still taking on some first-party risk and also assurance that we're going to have
the materials to be able to build larger and larger projects for our customers for years to come.
And so it gives us a little more flexibility to invest into that.
We also are expanding manufacturing operations more and more and more.
So that means more dedicated lines for oxide computers kind of being manufactured.
It means more test equipment kind of broadly.
We are- It means potentially more manufacturing sites.
We're supporting customers that are going to be outside of the United States.
And it means that we are able to, again, grow the team at pace kind of in every conceivable dimension.
And that includes much broader support and warranty and field services coverage for our customers who don't just want
crates and crates of oxide racks to show up, but would love us to help as they are deploying them, integrating them, expanding in their own environments.
