And we actually don't think it makes sense to collapse
the query layer into a single like HTAP style database.
And part of it, but the other thing I think a lot of people had is, hey, it would be nice if there's only one query language I have to worry about.
Instead of worrying about PostgreSQL and maybe Spark SQL, why not just one?
But I don't think that's an issue for agents.
Agents are very eloquent in PostgreSQL or Spark SQL.
It's never going to get confused.
As long as the data is there and it's accessible, agents will do fine.
That might have been, so five years ago might have been a problem for humans.
Probably the biggest fundamental difference, both companies started around the same time, both went to the cloud, both focused on storage from compute architecture.
But the biggest difference, one is open.
Like Databricks had never had the proprietary format, right?
We started with the open sort of ecosystem, started with Parquet and then evolved into Delta and Iceberg and all that.
It's like one big thing.
I think it matters a lot.
The other one is AI.
I mean, before 2022, October 2022,
When Chachabili came out, we had always pitched Databricks as a machine learning plus data.
And a lot of the platform were built with machine learning use cases in mind.
And obviously, AI is a little bit different.
