So local for local, that you do not always rely on certain technologies from the United States using in China for China in the United States or for Europe.

So it's a pity because normally you would like to scale and we still have core technologies which we can multiply.

But obviously getting, for example, we are training our customers

industrial AI applications for China on Chinese LLMs, whereas for the United States, obviously we train them on American hyperscalers or whatever LLMs.

Can I fork all my software?

I could, but it's just prohibitive, expensive.

It doesn't make sense.

But for certain areas, we do that and increase our resilience and hope for the best.
