You you don't want to be beholden to one model or one company suite of models.
We see this with our own Zapier's Automation Bench.
We have a benchmark that measures all these models on automation tasks.
And last week Astro came out, GPT-6.
It's the new state of the art on that model.
It performs about 40% of the tasks accurately, which is the highest that there is.
Now it's more expensive than say something like Gemini 37, which
Which is does pretty good, but does it have a fraction of the cost.
And you kind of have this this curve that sort of exists where you're trying to figure out how much am I willing to pay for incremental performance on certain tasks?
And as a result, I think any modern organization wants the ability to make those trade-offs to say, uh, these tasks, it's good at uh, you know, I I can sort of pay this rate and get a hundred percent of these types of tasks completed.
But for this type of tasks, I need to maybe move to a state-of-the-art model to do well on it, and so on and so forth.
And so I do think that companies are gonna look for
the I don't know, you called it the mecha harness or whatever, the sort of tool that allows them to swap in and out for different workflows of their choice.
Which
To that end, I certainly believe that there's a lot of innovation yet to be had on the application layer.
But how those applications are used, I think looks very different than the last decade.
The last decade was SAS and there's like all this sort of explosion of SAS, but now it feels like there's this almost explosion of headless tools that is happening.
And of course, you have this new thing, which is that your harness itself can build some of those tools.
And so the the sort of
Build option is
