And a lot of us who are part of the first Trump administration saw this very firsthand with the telecom wars of that era of what Huawei was able to do globally.

And at the time when Huawei first started their sort of global export push, they certainly were not the very best technology in the world.

They were certainly, you know, subpar compared to Ericsson and Nokia, yet they were good enough and they were subsidized enough such that they became sort of the default telecom system for a lot of the world.

And we've learned a lot of lessons from that.

And we take that very seriously when it comes to AI.

We know there is ambition for the Chinese to export their models and have them be the models that are powering all these different use cases across across the global south and across the rest of the world.

That's why the president launched something called the American Export Program.

And our mission, and I think we're in a very lucky position here compared to what we're dealing with with Huawei, is, as David said, we are dominant in almost every part of the stack.

We have the very best models, we have the best applications, we have the very best chips.

So we are in a position of power now and it's up to us as a country to share that technology with the world, with all of our partners and allies, make sure that any developer anywhere in the world that wants to build a new application using AI is using, is fine tuning an American model on top of an American chip.

And that isn't, that isn't a,

hard reality to see.

That is something that I think we can very easily do just because we have the very best tech.

That's a program that we launched late last year, and we're doing a big push this year to get that out the door.

Yeah, so the progress is moving on that.

We closed a request for information from the Commerce Department late last year, which went out to industry and said, hey, if we want to export the American AI stack, what should we be thinking about?

How should we be designing these packages that we share with the world?

Commerce is now ingesting that that information will be a request for proposals that comes out very shortly.

And that's where we actually want companies to come together to form consortia and say, like, look, this is what a package looks like.

And I think what, you know, what what people need to sort of what I always try to remind people is that the the.
