Now, the other thing is, is that if you're doing something different, do you really need the absolute maximal scale to prove it?

I don't think that's true at all.

I think that in our case, we have sufficient compute to prove, to convince ourselves and anyone else that what we're doing is correct.

It's a question of what you do with it.

I think in their case, in the case of others, I think there's a lot more demand on the training compute.

There's a lot more different work streams.

There are different modalities.

There is just more stuff.

And so it becomes fragmented.

How will SSI make money?

You know, my answer to this question is something like,

Right now, we just focus on the research and then the answer to that question will reveal itself.

I think there will be lots of possible answers.

Is SSI's plan still to straight-shot superintelligence?

Maybe.

I think that there is merit to it.

I think there's a lot of merit because I think that it's very nice to not be affected by the day to day market competition.

But I think there are two reasons that may cause us to change the plan.
