Hundred percent is on is the biggest strategic mistake I made in the history of speech or fry.

The best way to lose is not to be in the race.

Be in the race.

You don't want to be a fat manager who is like a general sitting in the back saying, Take that hill.

You want to be the warrior who runs up with their sword and engages the enemy first.

No.

So in 2022, we bought a huge rack of GPUs from NVIDIA.

And the reason we bought them is for training, right?

We have a bunch of models.

The newest Speechify Simba 3.2 model is ranked number one in the world for quality.

Above all the Frontier Labs, 10x more affordable and stuff like 11 labs.

And we used to rent GPUs.

And we found that engineers at SpeacherFi would be parsimonious with how they used the GPUs, because they were like, oh my God, I'm costing the company.

Tens of thousands of dollars, like I don't want to do that.

And the analogy my brother and I came up with is imagine you're Michael Jordan and you want to be in the NBA.

It's the only thing you care about.

And you need to pay $20 an hour just to train in a basketball center.

Well, that sucks.

You want one that you can go to whenever you want to.

In fact, you want a hoop in your house.
