But I view that as one of the differentiated innovation opportunities we have ahead as a company, but it's something we are thoughtfully working on. We'll make progress there.

It's a great question. I do think, you know, the answer has got to be, you know, we've always, humans have adapted to computing and it's always been that way. But over time, the answer will be that you need to do less of the hard work, less of the adaptation and computing kind of works for you, right? And that's the holy grail, I think. And And we are making progress, right?

Be it touch, be it voice, everything inches us towards this future. For example, when I wear AR glasses, I already wear glasses. It's not that, you know, but the AR glasses aren't quite as comfortable as my normal glasses, but they're getting there. It's obvious to me that that'll push it to the next level of seamlessness where it kind of is ambiently there and doing stuff for you.

So I think that's the arrow, the arrow of how it'll, it has to be more seamless and just be there for you. Will it be like neural link down the line, right? Like when I wanna understand something, is it that seamless, right? I think all of that is a possibility. But I think in the immediate world, given you're going to have really natively multimodal models, which can take,

you know, audio, vision, language, all of that, and be there in your line of view. So I think when AR really works, I think that'll wow people. I'm not talking about immersive displays, I'm talking more about AR glasses, right? And I think that paradigm looks very interesting to me having used it. You can kind of feel that next leap, right, where I think we'll all enjoy using it in a way.

but you still have a little bit of system integration challenges to work through. So we have maybe a couple cycles away to get to that sweet spot, what smartphones were in around 2006, 2007. So, but maybe that's the next leap, right? And so probably that's what's exciting for me.

Yes, right, I think. We are definitely excited about, be they our glasses, the next form factors, you know, Robotics is another area, all that. And we obviously build Pixel phones. We build vast data centers. So we are definitely in the physical world. You can think of Waymo as a big robot. We are driving around everywhere. So we're making, with our partners, cars that way. So definitely, yes.

They are obviously fortunate to have both of them involved in their own unique ways deeply. I talk to them all the time. I think both Larry and Sergey, credit to them. They always envision where AI would be. I think their ability to understand trends and You know, I swear I've had conversations maybe as early as like 15, 20 years ago about moments like this with them.

I think they both would argue that this is the most exciting time in the field, you know, and they both engage in their own ways. I think Sergey is definitely spending time with the Gemini team in a pretty hardcore way, like sitting and coding and spending time with the engineers.

And that gives the energy to the team, which I think it's unparalleled to have a founder sitting there looking at loss curves, giving feedback on model architectures. How can we improve post-training, et cetera? I think it's a rare, rare place to be. But my favorite conversations are sometimes when the three of us sit and talk. The combination of, I mean, they're very non-linear thinkers.
