“That idea that you can build a platform layer that someone else can then extend out and build their own intelligence layer in this case, I think is everything right without it.

“Every company having private evals may be the biggest IP, right? I think about it, like what's that private eval that you can then use even a frontier model to hill climb on and not leak the traces. Maybe one of the biggest drivers of IP.”
