are going to start having bigger advantage over the next few years as the last set of ideas are sort of, you know, all the juices being wrung out of them.

Yeah, I think it's probably similar to what we're seeing today.

I mean, we're big supporters of open science and open models.

And we've done many, many things, obviously, from the original transformers to AlphaFold.

These are all things we've sort of given out into the world and to help the research community.

And we plan to continue to do that, especially in applied domains, scientific domains, applying AI to science, which is obviously my passion.

But increasingly, what you're going to see is the open source models are probably one step back from the absolute frontier.

It usually takes about six months for the open source community to sort of reimplement and figure out what those ideas are.

But we are also pushing hard on a kind of suite of open source models called Gemma, which we're determined to kind of make best-in-class models.

for their sizes.

So specifically for small developers or academics or the beginnings of a startup, I think they're perfect for that.

And also edge computing too.

So we're very interested in open source models for certain types of applications.

How do you think about a world post-LLMs?

You have different people with different views.

You have Yann LeCun with very different views.

For me, I don't think it's... I kind of disagree with Yann on a few things in terms of...

I think there might be, there's a 50-50 chance there's some things maybe missing that we still need to make breakthroughs in, perhaps their world models, these kinds of approaches.

But my betting is pretty strongly is we've seen how successful these foundation models have been.

They can do incredibly impressive things.
