So the company had announced earlier this year they're separating it into a stand-alone entity, but we're waiting for the glasses to come out later this year.

Thank you so much, Leanna Baker, on that.
Let's get to the NeoCloud story now because CoreWeave has raised another $8 billion.
$8.5 billion to expand its cloud capacity as the debt binge fueling the AI boom continues.
