We can be generating tens of thousands of hypotheses.

Each hypothesis is mapped onto an end statement.

If this happens, we know whether we can validate the simulation to be right or wrong.

And we're basically watching the world every day, seeing which of those hypotheses are answerable at what time.

And we can basically say, a month goes by, we generated a million hypotheses, X percentage of them came true.

This is the best way to learn about the world.

Compute is an important piece of simulation.

Of course, a lot of the work that we do is to make our simulation be more efficient.

So a lot of our compute initially actually goes in to create the initial breakthroughs in technology.

So it is actually exploring different ways to train, is exploring different kind of data set.

Once we have a point of view, we can very quickly make it efficient.

So some of the things that I've seen within Simile as we built this company over the year is right now we have a model that's been in production.

This model used to cost about 100 times more to run than it does now.

And some of it does happen because we actually found different ways to model, but with the same reward model, with the same philosophy, but just in a way that's much more efficient at inference time.

So there are these kind of tricks that we can play and these kind of scientific advancement we can make to make things cheaper.

A lot of the investment, however, does go to find that initial point of view.

So the start of my career really came from research, obviously.

And the job of a researcher is to serve the humanity.

Then we do our research, obviously for our own enjoyment as well.

We love the process of finding new things in the world.
