Um yeah, totally.

So uh you know, we started the company one of the first applications of energy was uh uh was was as you as you talked about was basically capturing waste methane from oil production that would otherwise be flared.

Okay.

then utilizing that to power initially Bitcoin mining data centers, but you know, we also powered uh our early versions of our AI data centers.

Sure.

Like smaller training

Yeah.

Um and this was like pre-Chat GPT.

This was like, you know, we were working with like you know the MIT Department of Physics, uh doing uh you know early simulations of the Big Bang.

That's good, uh, you know, C Cell department and MIT, like you know, early, early work in our AI cloud development.

But ultimately.

You know, when I started the company, I really wanted to build an AI cloud platform.

I was like, uh, so a lot of people are like, wow, this was a great pivot.

And I always tell them, like, no, this was like the plan from day one, believe it or not.

Sure.

Um, and uh, you know, but I always felt like energy was the thing that tied together all computing infrastructure and any computing uh application, when really scaled out, energy does become the bottleneck.

and I had seen that and experienced that in these proof-of-work blockchains like like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Um, but uh and and I felt like if if AO is going to scale, you know, energy would be a a massive component in the overall operating cost of uh operating intelligent systems at scale.

And uh so uh we did a lot of early investment in in terms of like making the platform uh, you know, work with with Cruise.

So cloud and and trying to figure out what we wanted to build and for who.
