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.

start to answer frontier scientific problems.

Like the models can now solve problems that humans have never solved before.
