Transcript context

…I want to come back to that. That's actually a really good question. But let me ask a couple other questions here. In terms of v0, what's the scale at this point? We hear all these numbers about all the folks in the space. What can you share about what's happening with v0? I can share that it's growing exponentially, and that over 1.3 million users have interacted with v0 so far. We had our largest day ever yesterday and today, again, we're one of the largest customers of most of cloud providers at this point. We're hitting the limits of every GPU, LLM infrastructure out there in the planet. And the most exciting thing for me is what I'm seeing people build with v0. So we launched a feature about a month ago, maybe even less than a month ago, called v0 Community. It already has 20,000 submissions. I am sure people in your audience have used Figma, one of the things that I love about Figma is Figma files, that I can go and grab a starting point for something. It could be a logo, could be a menu, and you can start with something that someone has already contributed, like that spirit of open source. And so in less than a month, I think we've done over 20,000 community submissions. So we've learned so much about building AI products with this and we continue to open source and share our best practices. But one of the things that I've definitely learned is prompting it seems like the easiest interface in the world because it's just an input and you put text in it. But there's a little bit of a writer's block sometimes. So one of my favorite things that I've seen, and I'm even looking at the home page right now, and you can see a random assortment of community submissions. And they have 1,200 forks, and 1,500 forks, and 6,000 forks, and this is every time people saying like, "Oh, instead of starting from scratch, I'll start from this application that someone else has built and I'm going to prompt it to modify it and make it my own." So the community submissions are people building apps on v0 and sharing what they built?…
