Reeves, what is your comfort level with open source AI and LLMs? Do you look at the cost equation versus security concerns as applied to specific uses?
15:31
It's an interesting question these days, right? We recently had some of the pacing debate come out of the leaders of the major LLM providers.
15:43
And, you know, it's largely those frontier model closed weight systems are... four, five months ahead of open weight models these days.
15:55
And some, you know, prognosticated that pacing was a measure to keep the competition at bay.
16:02
You know, I think ultimately these things have a, like they will seek their level, right? Any organization deploying this technology should really first be looking to bring it into a platform that then allows them to scale as appropriate with the right tool at the right time for the right job.

So, like, I know, like, we have a platform here at JLL we call Falcon.
16:32
And that's where we ensure that we are able to vet these various technologies and to bring them into a centralized toolkit, if you will, that is ring-fenced to our networks where the use of those LLMs is contained in the data that we use.
21:47
Can the same company be the builder, the accountable party and the one scaling adoption? Or does that have to eventually split apart?
