Yes, so I think it's just a fact of the AI industry that researchers would always like more compute.
But the shortage has just become more acute in this day and age because large language models require such vast amounts of computing power.
And so traditionally, AI research at Google, especially in Google Brain, one of the labs, was very egalitarian.
Researchers got a certain amount of computing power, and they could team up to try to do bigger projects.
But now that pool still exists, but it contracts in times of high demand.
And researchers just often can't get meaningful research done with their allocations.
And so if their work isn't a priority at Google, that is the only avenue they can pursue, whereas at a startup, they have more doors to knock on.
Yes, I think there's a few things happening at once.
One is that generative AI has made Doodle's consumer products so popular and Doodle needs a lot of computing power to serve those.
And then the cloud business is taking off.
So Doodle wants to meet that demand.
And then at the same time, AI research is more computing intensive than it once was.
And so researchers are
