And so is there some sort of race condition?
Or do you think that there's a more elegant solution and we need new algorithms, I guess?
How are you thinking about standing on the shoulders of giants broadly?
I mean, you mentioned a bunch of researchers who have published a bunch of papers and obviously you're integrating that, but is there a way to pull forward progress or like catch up to the frontier faster based on open source models, open source research, open source data sets, or
distilling or integrating existing open source projects.
I would love to know just your thesis on leveraging open source and tweaking and fine tuning and iterating on versus start from a completely blank sheet.
So do you, yeah, I mean, how close are you?
I imagine that this is a whole process, but how close are you to thinking about a product for businesses or a product for consumers, an API, you know, a web playground, a demo?
Is that something that by design you want to be able
super fast about and get something out into the world, have some impact in the interim, or do you want to keep everything closely held for potentially a really long time?
I don't know, forever, potentially, if you're just going to invent.
Amazing.
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
Congratulations on the progress.
We'll talk to you soon.
Cheers, Richard.
Have a good one.
Goodbye.
We have a debate.
