And then the ceremony is a whole week in Sweden with the royal family.
It's amazing.
Obviously, it's been going for 120 years.
And the most amazing bit is they bring out this Nobel book from the vaults in the safe.
And you get to sign your name next to all the other greats.
So it's quite an incredible moment, sort of leafing back to the other pages and seeing Feynman and Marie Curie and Einstein and Niels Bohr.
And you just carry on going backwards and you get to put your name in that book.
It's incredible.
Well, you hear rumors.
It's amazingly locked down, actually, in today's age, how they keep it so quiet.
But it's sort of like a national treasure for Sweden.
And so you hear, you know, maybe AlphaFold is the kind of thing that would be worthy of that recognition.
And they look for impact as well as the scientific breakthrough impact in the real world.
And that can take 20, 30 years to arrive.
So you just never know how soon it's going to be and whether it's going to be at all.
So it's a surprise.
Well, we sort of see DeepMind now and Google DeepMind as it's become.
We sort of merged a couple of years back all of the different AI efforts across Google and Alphabet, including DeepMind, put it all together, kind of bringing the strengths of all the different groups together into one division.
And really, the way I describe it now is that we're the engine room of the whole of Google and the whole of Alphabet.
So Gemini, our main model that we're building, but also many of the other models that we also build, the video models and interactive world models, we plug them in all across Google now.
