We want to build the most powerful agenda models in the world and make them open weight and accessible to everyone.

You can see that there are like many frontier open models coming out of China.

We are like really bullish that we'll just repeat the same in the West.

Open science, publications, sharing your findings, uploading your code.

is something that the only way to really ensure that the progress is actually accessible by everyone and also that we can speed up the progress of intelligence and of science as a whole.

Most people will just like choose the open one because like it gives you more flexibility, transparency, all else being equal, open wins every day.

It is insane like how far we've come.

I've been doing AI for like almost 14 years now and kind of like thinking where the industry was when I started and like where it's now like the coding agent is like day and night.

I don't see why open source cannot like be at the frontier.

We built it in America, but like we don't just build it for America, right?

Like we build it for the world.

It's great to be here.

Thank you so much for the invitation.

Yeah, that's a really good question.

And maybe I can just take a couple of minutes to say a few things about me and about my background.

So I'm Yanis, I'm the co-founder and CTO of Ram Technology at Reflection.

We started Reflection with Misha, my co-founder, about a year and a half ago.

Before that, I was a long-time DeepMinder.

I actually joined DeepMind really early in 2012.

before an acquisition.
