We're still so early in the development of the science and understanding how this works. Plus, we have all the engineering tailwinds. So I don't know when we get to intelligence too cheap to meter and so fast that it feels instantaneous to us and everything else, but... I do believe we can get there for a pretty high level of intelligence. It's important to us.
It's clearly important to users, and it'll unlock a lot of stuff. On the sort of open source, closed source thing, I think there's great roles for both, I think. You know, we've open sourced some stuff. We'll open source more stuff in the future. But really, like, our mission is to build towards AGI and to figure out how to broadly distribute its benefits. We have a strategy for that.

It seems to be resonating with a lot of people. It obviously isn't for everyone, and there's, like, a big ecosystem, and there will also be open source models and people who build that way. One area that I'm particularly interested personally in open source for is I want an open source model that is as good as it can be that runs on my phone.

And that, I think, is going to, you know, the world doesn't quite have the technology for a good version of that yet. But that seems like a really important thing to go do at some point.

I don't know if we will or someone will.

That should be fittable on a phone, but I'm not sure if that one is like... I haven't played with it.

What we're trying to do is not make the sort of smartest decisions set of weights that we can. But what we're trying to make is like this useful intelligence layer for people to use. And a model is part of that. I think we will stay pretty far ahead of, I hope we'll stay pretty far ahead of the rest of the world on that. But

There's a lot of other work around the whole system that's not just that the model waits. And we'll have to build up enduring value the old-fashioned way like any other business does. We'll have to figure out a great product and reasons to stick with it and deliver it at a great price.

Part of the reason that we released ChatGPT was we want the world to see this. And we've been trying to tell people that AI is really important. And if you go back to like October of 2022, not that many people thought AI was going to be that important or that it was really happening. No. And a huge part of what we try to do is put the technology in the hands of people.

Now, again, there's different ways to do that. And I think there really is an important role to just say, like, here's the way to have at it. But the fact that we have so many people using a free version of ChatGPT that we don't run ads on, we don't try to make money on, we just put out there because we want people to have these tools, I think has done a lot to...

provide a lot of value and teach people how to fish, but also to get the world really thoughtful about what's happening here. Now, we still don't have all the answers, and we're fumbling our way through this like everybody else, and I assume we'll change strategy many more times as we learn new things.
