And you know, that's I think become more important, less like the model selectors and whatnot.

We we don't show them in the product.

We don't mention them all at all.

We put it in the manual.

We have like a owner's manual because people kept asking us.

Yeah.

So I think we're going towards a future where

The model will become an implementation detail to some sense and we will end up on a different abstraction layer.

And for example, you ask like when would I use a mid model, right?

When you put it like this, it sounds obvious like who wants to use the shitty version of the better version.

But you know, we're thinking actively about this.

There's models who might not be as smart as Sonnet 4 as the main agentic driver, but it might be 10 times

Is fast.

And that doesn't mean that you think, well, now I need to go fast, let's use this.

But I think there's different modes of working in your day-to-day work with this model in a different harness or in a different configuration can then be another way to do or get things done versus talking to a you know an agent in a back and forth.

So in that sense, like we've seen this with like planning modes or

So people use different models, but it's still like pretty clear that it's a different model and whatnot.

But I do think it will be pushed more and more in the background and that people will choose or have different ways to interact with models and the specific model or its version will not be as visible anymore.

The other thing also is that, you know, if you're building an agent and you're not at one of the model houses, you can use multiple models from different providers, right?

So which is what we do.
