And then it really accelerated in the first half of 2026.
Yeah, well, it's actually kind of funny.
Back in 2022, we issued a press release that there was a graphics chips company that we were going to partner with in order to put GPUs at the edge of our network.
That graphic chip company turned out to be NVIDIA.
And what was amazing was at the time, it was just crickets, like nobody cared.
And so we sort of did a little of it, but we hadn't really rolled it out broadly.
And what was funny was, and then you fast forward two years later, and all of a sudden everyone cared.
And so we basically just reissued the exact same press release.
And now, you know, that's become a pretty important part of our business.
And so today you can run inference at the edge of Cloudflare.
And because of the fact that we're
In over 350 cities worldwide, we're within milliseconds of the vast majority of the world's population.
We've become a very natural place for inference to happen.
My working assumption has always been that about 50% of the inference that happens will be on device, whether that's your phone or your laptop or whatever.
But that there needs to be some standard protocol where your phone or your laptop or whatever that local thing is can hand those either long-running tasks or larger tasks off next to the network.
And so that would be to us.
And then if for some reason you need something that's more than that, that you could hand it back to, you know, some centralized data center with, you know, with more capacity than us.
than we may have and i think that that's what um that's what we're increasingly seeing um i think my my assumption was a little bit um probably off um i think actually i think less is going to happen on device today because i think more and more of the tasks are going to be these long-running tasks where it's not going to be just you know what's you know what's the
you know what's the temperature in in new york today yeah uh instead it's going to be something like help me plan a vacation go you know take into account all of these different things shop for uh you know different hotels in different places plan all the um plan all the uh the the travel between between the different locations here are the criteria that i have and that might be something that takes you know maybe you know it's certainly not going to be seconds it might be you know minutes or hours or days in some cases i feel like you're going to have
That's exactly right.
