Yeah, originally it was CPO, so leading our consumer products, B2B products, developer products, etc.
And I mean, man, I think we grew like a weed.
I've never seen anything grow that quickly in my entire life.
And
I think, kind of brought AI to a whole bunch of the world.
So very proud of that work.
A few months ago, it was getting clear that our models could not just be great inside ChatGPT or inside Codex, which I think is an incredible product, but were at the level that they could...
start to answer frontier scientific problems.
Like the models can now solve problems that humans have never solved before.
So a lot of people like the criticism of AI is, oh, well, it's just, it's just bringing together different ideas from different places and summarizing them for you to give you an answer.
I can't actually do novel thinking, but we've now seen there've been, I don't know what,
10 or 12, just in January, 10 or 12 open mathematics problems solved, mostly by GPT 5.2, now a few recently by Gemini.
Models are going beyond the frontier of human knowledge.
And I wouldn't claim yet that they are solving problems that humans can't.
I think if you took enough people and applied enough mathematicians towards some of these problems, they would have figured it out.
But they had not figured it out yet.
The model went beyond what we had ever done as humans.
And that's pretty cool.
And that's today.
If there's one thing I've learned over the last few years, it's that you go very quickly from models could never do this thing.
