00:00The MI450 series, I think, and the work we've been able to do there is, you've worked on that

00:06over the last couple of years, and we're very grateful for listening to our input. Hopefully

00:11we'll be a good representative for what the industry as a whole needs. But we are extremely

00:15excited for the MI450. The memory architecture is great for inference. I believe it can be an

00:19incredible option for training as well. And when you first started telling me what you were thinking

00:27about for the specs, I was like, there's no way. That just sounds totally crazy. That's too big.

00:32But it's really been so exciting to see you all get close to delivery on this, and I think it's

00:35going to be an amazing thing. These are huge systems now, very complex engineering projects,

00:40very complex research. And to keep on this curve of scaling, we've got to work together across

00:46research, engineering, hardware, how we're going to deliver these systems and products.

00:51And this has gotten quite complex. But if we can do on that, if we can deliver on that,

00:55if we can drive this collaboration across the whole industry, we will keep this curve going.

01:00And so we're tremendously excited about the work that we're doing with AMD and what you all are

01:05going to deliver to, you know, we'll keep delivering great models.
