But you had like image recognition that all of a sudden it actually worked.

You had speak recognition that got really good.

Translations went from being super terrible to usable.

I mean, I even remember early days of Google Translate.

You know, everyone would make fun of it.

And as time went on, it became really, really good.

So because of this, a lot of companies realized, look, this is actually scaling.

And so instead of just, you know, writing rules, you just give models more like these massive data sets and you're going to let them learn.

And so basically the more data...

you give them, the better they got.

The more compute you give them, the smarter they become.

And so I think when we kind of realized that, this kicked off basically what's known as the modern AI boom.

From there, everything got accelerated much faster.

Models got way bigger.

We realized we needed to have much bigger models.

The data sets we realized had to get much larger.

And then training runs went from, you know, like it used to be like hours to weeks.

And then it started getting pushed into months.

And eventually we've arrived at a lot of these large language models.

And we have the kind of AI that can read, write, reason, and talk.
