So you have a few tens of thousands of humanoid robots doing different tasks.

And then you can do millions of simulated robots in the simulated world.

And you use the tens of thousands of robots in the real world to close the simulation to reality gap, close the sim to real gap.

Yeah, so Grok would orchestrate the behavior of the Optimus robots.

So let's say you wanted to build a factory.

Then Grok could organize the Optimus robots, assign them tasks to build the factory to produce whatever you want.

What were we saying earlier about public company discussions?

Since we're defining the proper noun, we could define the plural of the proper noun too.

So we're going to proper noun the plural, and so it's optimae.

No, we're moving towards that.

We're going forward with mass manufacturing.

I mean, it's very hard to scale up production.

But yeah, I think Optimus 3 is the right version of the robot to produce maybe something on the order of like a million units a year.

I think you'd want to go to Optimus 4 before you went to 10 million units a year.

Yeah, I mean, it's very hard to spool up manufacturing.

So manufacturing, the output per unit time always follows an S-curve.

So it starts off agonizingly slow, then it has this sort of exponential increase, then a linear, then a logarithmic outcome until you sort of eventually asymptote at some number.

But Optimus initial production will be, it's going to be a stretched out S-Cove because so much of what goes into Optimus is brand new.

There's not an existing supply chain.

As I mentioned, the actuators, electronics, everything in the Optimus robot is designed for physics first principles.
