…That reminds me of one of the more surprising bits of news that I've seen from Google maybe ever, which is the partnership with EXA, bringing EXA in as a alternative to Google for grounding. I never expected to see Google work with any other search provider. So what's the story behind that? I think this is just generally the like Google Cloud does like tons of these types of ecosystem partnerships with folks like across actually like lots of things that are like, you know, somewhat competing sort of quote unquote with what Google is doing. And actually you can look at like the cloud marketplace generally like has lots of stuff.

I mean, we saw this subquadratic model that came out with, made a bit of a splash with a 12 million token context window and a new attention strategy to support that. Is it people don't want it?
