4 predictions- Apr 28, 2026Too early to tell.“I think over time they're going to want to do stuff that's on prem and um there's just such a demand for hardware that it's super expensive and I think that'll go down over time and I think I think we're going to see in our in all of all of industries more decentralized distributed models not these centralized online models and that's why we're taking the approach that we're taking. We think over time there's a myriad of models that start to come together across workflows and testing is awesome.”

- Apr 28, 2026Too early to tell.“I think there's one other one other movement I think is going to happen and I'm hearing a lot about this just in the last week is this notion of workflow steps as an extension of human workflows.”

- Apr 28, 2026Too early to tell.“I think as you as you run the tape fast forward I think two things are going to happen over the next 24 months. uh two specific things around your question. One is these MCPs are going to get really interestingly um sophisticated and they're going to self-describe their sophistication in that merchandising of the tools better and better and things are going to work better just because they're describing their tooling better because the inference engine can now make more sense of how the tools start to merge and progress. That's the first thing that's happening. The second thing that I think compiles going to happen is companies are going to get into this category. They're going to think about how they build their own GUF models. So these are compiled downloadable models that look like an open-source model, but they're internal to their proprietary data.”

- Apr 28, 2026Too early to tell.“Do you get faster adoption if content creators have a way in which they can make money on that awesome Excel macro they produced? And my question is, how do we know that that macro will apply across an industry?”
