Um it's it's more than just an interface, but that's probably the better way to think about it.

It's not a new model, it's a new interface.

And Cloud Science is that for science.

It's saying, hey, uh, we know you have a lot of tools.

at your disposal, a lot of databases that you need to access.

We're gonna make it easy to access all of those and query all of those and give you uh information you need faster.

And I think probably one of the more important aspects of cloud science is that

It is focusing on keeping a good record of what you asked, what you got, and how you changed it for repro reproducibility reasons.

So that someone else could come in and go, Well, I need to do the same thing if I'm going to reproduce your results.

So how did you get that?

And also to be able to fact check.

Uh interestingly, Cloud Science has a fact-checker, but I've seen a lot of criticism, like, yeah, I mean, the model's checking itself.

It's likely to catch some.

Some things, but maybe, you know, not everything, so don't rely on it for everything.

But it's not a bad thing to have as a, you know, a first line of defense.

Uh so yeah, I think I think this is more than just marketing, but it it is not it is not what I like the best, which is something very focused and trained on your work.

It's still using the general purpose claude underneath.

And that's why they said kind of it still can run locally and in your enterprise and stuff.

So it does bring that aspect of it.

Uh, but the model underneath is still a general purpose model that is prone to occasional hallucinations, not as badly as as when it was telling you, you know, to put rocks on pizza uh back in the day.
