The model train is coming down the track and it's improving unbelievably fast.

This relentless progress we talked about earlier, you know, you look at 2.5 versus 1.5 and it's just a gigantic improvement.

And we expect that again for the future versions.

And so the models are becoming more capable.

So you've got the interesting thing about the design space in today's world, these AI first products is you've got to design not for what the thing can do today, the technology can do today, but in a year's time.

So you actually have to be a very technical product person.

Because you've got to kind of have a good intuition for and feel for, okay, that thing that I'm dreaming about now can't be done today.

But is the research track on schedule to basically intercept that in six months or a year's time?

So you kind of got to intercept where this highly changing technology is going.

as well as the new capabilities are coming online all the time that you didn't realize before that can allow like deep search to work.

Or now we've got video generation.

What do we do with that?

This multimodal stuff, you know, is it, one question I have is, is it really going to be the current UI that we have today?

These text box chats?

It seems very unlikely once you think about these super multimodal systems.

Shouldn't it be something more like minority report where you're sort of vibing with it in a kind of collaborative way?

It seems very restricted today.

I think we'll look back on today's interfaces and products and systems as quite archaic in maybe in just a couple of years.

So I think there's a lot of space actually for innovation to happen on the product side as well as the research side.

Yeah, I mean, typing is a very low bandwidth way of doing it, even if you're a very fast typer.
