countries in the middle, principally the Gulf, that you export the technology to the Gulf.

But equally, there are still so-called diffusion considerations around, well, would China have access to that technology through Gulf nations?

Where do you stand on that, Vinod, that middle ground?

We are not an investor in Anthropic.
