They'll say that they want bring your own key.
They'll say that they want model choice.
They'll say that they want a subscription for.
Or $100 a month or you know, pricing to lock users out if they spend more than $30 in a day.
But actually, what we've seen is they want the very best coding agent.
Not everyone, not everyone, but we're focused on the ones that want the very best coding agent.
And when we tell them how that thing will slow us down, then that starts this conversation where they'd rather not have something they might use 2% of the time if that means that the tool is worse.
Right.
And we alone among the entire industry, it feels like we are being really honest and really bold with that.
And I am really concerned just for the the rate of progress overall that a lot of these other tools that are great, like Claude Code and Codex and Cursor and so on, that they've forgotten what made them great and what made them grow so fast, which is building the very best product.
And they they built it in a way that's too overfit on the current capabilities.
And so
So they're just gonna peak and then it's gonna be a slow fall.
And zero of the software business model works if that happens.
You need to have growth into the future.
Yeah.
So I think it's best for our business, but also I think that we're trying to push the whole industry to just uh be radical about the change.
There's absolutely a market today, literally today, someone will pay a monthly fee for that cheaper AI product today, but they're not gonna be paying that in six months.
There, it's gonna be a different product, or they're gonna be paying for something else.
And if you have that much churn as a product, you simply cannot build software in that way.
