Yeah, so Sentient has been around for nine years.

It's one of the best funded companies in the AI business.

You know, just to give you a little, you know, I'd taken a few years off from operations.

I was an executive recruiter.

It was a fascinating way to meet, you know, super talented, top level people, build out my network.

And Sentient was one of my clients.

The guy with whom I did the original AOL cover mount deal when back in PC world was there.

And I fell in love with this company because, you know, to the extent one's goal is to be on the leading edge, there's nothing more leading edge these days than artificial intelligence.

So Ascentia has built a very powerful AI platform.

Its focus is on AI at scale.

It's able to run, you know, AI problems across millions of CPUs and thousands of GPUs using proprietary distributed computing middleware layer.

John, hold on.

All right.

So we do multiple types of AI.

People are usually familiar with deep learning or neural networks.

That's what's used for handwriting recognition or voice recognition or image analysis.

We do that too.

But there's another field which Sene and Ascend is based on and another one of our products.

It's called evolutionary computation.

And in evolutionary computation, it's an AI that mimics natural selection.
