And that's essentially what we optimize for.

No, I think we made a bet that this is the way it was going to go.

I think you have to make some opinionated bets that to you appear very likely when you go about building something that takes a while to build.

Um, so you kind of have to build ahead of the the market sometimes.

And in this case, we had the conviction that it would.

Like I was one of these uh between Twitter and this company, I was just sitting there hacking on open source.

There was this baby AGI thing and Auto GPT.

There were a bunch of these open source agent builders and the models were not good enough.

But people were hacking together agents at the time and you could feel them.

And if you believe that

models get better, you could feel that these things will become useful.

So it was vibes.

I I it it it was like empirical, but also it it was clear that that had to happen if AIs were going to be any good.

So uh uh let's separate the definition for a second, right?

Uh agent, how many agent companies will be there or how many people will sell agentic products?

A separate question from how many agents there will be.

I do think there will be a lot of specialization in agents and a lot of work will get done by multi-agent systems.

So I think we're going from Chat GPT to an agent with tools to an agent with sub agents.

Uh.

two more interesting organization primitives of agents together.
