…That's incredible. So, I mean, basically like in the first, the first year of a model being available, not only can you say, Hey, I'm just going to go use this model, those numbers that like 49 million images. is an estimate directly related to just the hosted side. So imagine all of the users that are self hosting or using SAM for robotics applications or out in the field or offline where it's not even, like, the time or the image counts are tabulated. And we're probably talking about, you know, just a fraction of the amount of value that's actually being produced for a number of downstream tasks. So to say that the impact has been You know, people use terms like game changing and these sorts of things. It has changed the industry. It's set a new standard. And with the release of SAM 2, I think we're about to see an acceleration of those capabilities for a lot of reasons. That's really great to hear. I think one of the, really SAM 1 was.
