Let's make the models faster, faster, faster, because that really improves the user experience.
It's a good question.
It's something that we've thought a lot about before.
I mean, a lot of the team is very academic.
A lot of us have been researchers, have been publishing everything we do in our labs, and we see a lot of value in sort of like
you know, sharing our ideas and having a community of researchers that work together to improve and make progress.
I think the constraint is that, as you know, it's an extremely competitive kind of landscape at the moment.
IP, it's still a big mode.
It's still an important kind of part of the company.
And, you know, we feel like it would be hard for other labs to reproduce what we have.
And so, unfortunately, open sourcing anything would reveal probably quite a bit about how the market works.
You got to keep your advantage.
No, and that would also be like, I think a lot of value, just like, you know, if we could open source something, just get the contributions from the community, get feedback.
I think there would be a lot of value if we could do it.
So that's why we thought about it a lot and we'd love to do it at some point.
Maybe when the team becomes bigger and maybe there is a way to release a smaller model or some more like a research type model that people can play with and make improvements.
And I mean, I'm sure there is a lot to be invented and it'd be good, you know, if the whole community works towards making the fusion language models become the default.
for the next generation of others.
Yeah.
That's right.
