And like, they're constantly pushing us towards the edge because we're serving business use cases that have like deeper and deeper needs, like, you know, billion dollar investments around the line.

Like this has to be perfect.

And that's great because it's pushing us towards perfect search.

And so like, basically like,

If traditional surgeons had like 99.9% quality or reliability, like these new surgeons for agents need 99.99, 99.9999.

And this is a great thing because it's just pushing us towards that dream of perfect search I've always been dreaming about.

It's very similar to like Elle.

Like, you know, Opus 4.6 comes out.

Everyone's really happy.

This is working on 99.9% of use cases.

And then when the next one version comes out, everyone wants that thing, right?

Because the extra nines of quality are so important in this new agentic economy.

And so you have a similar thing for search.

So it's both easier to build a search engine fast, but really hard to build a perfect search engine.

Yeah, I guess what does commoditize mean?

It means like over time, will the thing, will it just not matter which tool you use?

Like, they're all kind of the same.

I would argue that the LLMs are going to get commoditized or are getting commoditized faster than searches.

Uh, and the reason is cause you don't need to run like mythos over every cell in your Excel sheet when you're trying to find competitors or something like that.

Like a lot, like most of knowledge work does not require the smartest model.
