It sits directly in their current workflow, adds like next to no latency, um, and it will route to whatever the most cost efficient model is.
132:55
So we host all the open source models, uh, in the US.
132:59
Um, they prompt, it routes to the right spot, uh, and they save up to, well, some companies up to 80%.
134:53
Bending time.

That's why you have to jump out of a plane to attract talent.
134:56
This is, uh...
134:57
The best part of the video is we've had like an influx of people, um, that are interested, uh, I think just 'cause I did my fears of...

How is this reconfiguration changing the way SMEs think when it comes to cross-border financial resilience and also operational agility?

One of them is vertical take-off and land.

There's also what's known as short take-off and land, aircraft that can take off and land using a very short runway.

Then there are several different innovations, everything from electric-powered flight, as well as hydrogen.
0:36
Cohen explains that these cleaner aviation technologies can replace more carbon-intensive automobile trips.
0:42
There are several different types of use cases.
0:45
This could include regional air mobility, connecting within a broader region, or small package delivery.

And then on emergency services, first response, fire, as well as aeromedical use cases.
