many different things. I think they'll be very cool. I think before we talk about like a GPT-5-like model called that or not called that or a little bit worse or a little bit better than what you'd expect from a GPT-5, I know we have a lot of other important things to release first.

I was... What's the one big unlock? Is it a bigger computer? Is it a new secret? Is it something else? It's all of these things together. The thing that OpenAI, I think, does really well, this is actually an original Ilya quote that I'm going to butcher, but it's something like, we multiply 200 medium-sized things together into one giant thing.

There's a few people who have to think about putting the whole thing together, but a lot of people try to keep most of the picture in their head.

At a high level, yeah. You don't know exactly how every piece works, of course, but one thing I generally believe is that it's sometimes useful to zoom out and look at the entire map. And And I think this is true for like a technical problem. I think this is true for like innovating in business.

But things come together in surprising ways and having an understanding of that whole picture, even if most of the time you're operating in the weeds in one area, pays off with surprising insights. In fact, one of the things that I used to have and I think was super valuable was I used to have like a a good map of that, all of the front or most of the frontiers in the tech industry.

And I could sometimes see these connections or new things that were possible that if I were only, you know, deep in one area, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be able to like have the idea for it because I wouldn't have all the data. And I don't really have that much anymore. I'm like super deep now. But I know that it's a valuable thing. You're not the man you used to be, Sam.

I never said like, we're raising $7 trillion, blah, blah, blah.

Look, I think compute is going to be the currency of the future. I think it will be maybe the most precious commodity in the world. And I think we should be investing heavily to make a lot more compute.
