I think, again, the more structured and more formal it is, the more precise it is, the higher value it is.
The thing that everyone is looking for is proprietary data advantage.
What do I have access to that no one else has access to?
And it might be that the only way to actually generate proprietary data advantage is to be generating that data yourself.
So again, like biotech being a clear example, the interesting companies in biotech that are being founded and funded right now are trying to figure out how do they speed up
that loop.
You look at a company like New Limit, founded by Brian Armstrong of Coinbase, working on some incredible stuff in cellular reprogramming and longevity.
They have an amazing in-house data pipeline where they do high-speed experimentation on cells, capture that data, use that data to improve their AI models, which then hopefully allows them to do smarter experimentation going forward.
So that sort of feedback loop or virtuous cycle
That's the real sustainable competitive advantage.
And it's not common.
You know, we look at AI, there's a lot of fear of sort of AI monopolies, AI conservation of power.
But the reality is in the AI market overall, there are no obvious network effects.
There's no effect like Facebook.
So it's just hyper-competitive and the value accrues to us, the users, today.
Well, I think the benefit of open weight, and most of these models are not fully open source.
You can't get the source code.
You don't have the training.
But you have open weight.
You can download the weights.
