They constantly have a higher bar to leap over, which makes them better at the same time.

And so I think the future, particularly as you think about agents, there's a very likely ecosystem of models that develops under any like agentic system where you perhaps have, you know, some larger planning and orchestration models and you have smaller models that are doing more perhaps like discrete or focused things along the flow.

And I think

companies that kind of have some interoperability there are going to be able to build the best systems at the end of the day.

Makes sense, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, professional grade AI is is challenging to build.

And I think I talked about Thomson Reuters before.

Like, I think this is one of our biggest challenges.

We're 150 plus year old company.

And I think if you look over that history, our brand is associated with trustworthiness and truthfulness and like these principles.

And I think, you know, as as young startup companies and there's tons of them now and they're doing phenomenal work, but they have a lot of freedom to go out and experiment, explore and like try something.

If it doesn't work, they pivot.

And it's like from from an engineering perspective, that's great.

That feels awesome.

But as a company with as much history as we have, I think anytime we put something in the market, it's definitely held to a bar, I think, above and beyond anybody else, just because, again, of the history behind us.

And we take that to heart in everything that we do and develop, which is, again, why I think we put so much emphasis and effort on this relationship with our domain experts and our technical teams.

I think, you know, you mentioned like from a technical perspective, getting a little deeper.

I think a couple of things that are like really good ingredients, like for success in terms of building.

One would be technology.

developing benchmarks that technical teams can focus on so that they can spin their flywheel somewhat independently at the early days.
