But at the same time, you know, like here in the US, we should also, you know, proactively be doing something about that and just like building open models that, you know, can be...

And Reflection is building them.

We want to just put them out there, make them accessible to everyone, and ensure that there's a solid AI infrastructure alternative that has been built in this country.

Yeah, I mean, I guess like...

The thing that's really important in order to be able to build these models is to have the know-how and have the people.

And, you know, I think that like we will continue to attract the best people.

And this is kind of like the thing that you need.
