“I think like with, when we're looking forward as to how the technology evolves, I think a lot of the lines between like what traditionally was like the intelligence portion of a model and what was traditionally the rendering portion of the model are going to g…”

“Putting lips on top of something is not actually driving the animation. Like, your breathing is correlated with how you talk, right? How you move your hands. I mean, I guess I do weird hand gestures. Now I'm getting self-conscious. I would argue it's correlate…”

“Enterprise is more fastest It is our fastest growing segment now.”

“And I think this is like changing how we build software, especially. I think creative tools are really exciting because there's just As you're talking about so much dimensionality and so many opportunities to rethink how we interact with media and being able t…”

“So in my, like, you know, future state, like, you should be able to have a subject in video that you can bidirectionally communicate with, that can follow cues, that has a distinct personality that you can program, and that creates, like, essentially the, you …”

“When I think about, like, the most iconic companies in the space, They did that last mile, right? Like, ChatGPT has built out a really good user experience for interacting with LLMs, and they've built things into that core workflow that people aren't coming fo…”

“The more control we surrender over to these very large data-driven models, the more priors we can bake in to make that easier to get to that natural distribution of content. But at the same time, the more control the user has to kind of surrender. And I think …”

“And I think in the same way, like we've seen this transition from like, you know, auto completion and code generation to now coding agents. I think we're going to see something very similar with content engines, and that's a lot of what we've been working on.”

“We were, I think the first major audio video foundational model company that was able to deploy, you know, these full body expressive dialogue centric generative videos at scale”

“We see a lot of use cases where people combine us with something like N-A-N where they'll use, like, deep research and pull together scripts, they'll bring in a dihedra to generate the audio and video portion, and they'll automate the deployment to their chann…”

“And I think that, for me, it was, like, you need to identify, like, that It's a core pain point and core market segment that you need to serve and you need to do whatever possible to deliver the best experience to them. And if that involves bringing in partner…”
