So help our listeners first understand what artificial intelligence is and then how you begin building a model like what you've done to support something like Kaleo AI.
15:16
For sure.
15:17
Really, AI, when we think about AI, we're really talking about what's called a large language model, which is essentially a collection of a bunch of different data and something that really kind of models the way a human brain works.
15:31
It's called a neural network that can connect ideas and basically is able to generate text and generate all this different content.
15:40
And so, you know, these are things like ChachiBT, Claude, are consumer applications of these large language models that can take lots of different inputs in, whether that's text, images, audio, and can transform them into different text, maybe images.
15:59
Again, it's multimodal.
16:02
And so one of the things that happened, I mean, AI has really taken off in the past few years.
