It doesn't need to be, there's no like bells and whistles around this.

It's like once you do it, you've done it.

It's kind of binary.

And those sorts of tasks, being able to just crush it with an in-house model makes total sense for a lot of different reasons, but most importantly for the user.

Chances are it's going to be faster.

You can kind of optimize that model over time from not just a latency perspective, but also from a cost standpoint.

Once you've done it too, you can kind of set and forget to some extent, like, okay, let's move on to the next challenge, you know, inside this new product that we're delivering for nurses.

But then there are certain challenges in your product suite that you're never going to be perfect on, but every week

Every month, you want to be able to look back and say, you're less imperfect than you were before, and it's going to matter.

It needs to matter to the market.

If the market cares about you always improving on something that you don't think you'll ever be perfect on, and healthcare has a lot of use cases like this, it makes more sense to ride the frontier wave.

Well, number one, it starts with the end user.

Milliseconds matter when you're in workflow.

These are doctors who are, they have no patience for new technology.

Our refrain inside the company is reduce, reduce, reduce from a product and user experience standpoint.

It's like we want to be like good air conditioning where when it's set right, we're in the background.

You're just focusing on everything that's more important.

And to get to that, though, you really need to think about being in workflow.

The Thinking Machine stuff that just came out is really fascinating.

It's like it's an agent that's in the moment with you, right?
