Well, we do love to look to the future here at Twist and we love to look to the future also at fun events like CES, something that I've been to many times, Jason. But there's also a lot of kind of what I would call CS slot. Boston Dynamics new robot. This one has an LLM attached to it and will eventually be available to consumers or businesses. But Jason, what is Hyundai good at?

Mass manufacturing. They're good at getting things right at scale. in a real world environment. So if this is what they're showing off on stage, I presume it's probably 80% as good as we think it is. And it really kind of rivals the Sunday robotics robot and these partnerships with auto companies, it's going to become a common trend that we'll continue to watch.

This is going to ramp up quite nicely. You these companies will have no problem making hundreds of thousands of these and eventually millions. So if people want them, They'll get these down to, that looks like five to ten thousand dollars eventually. Optimus and the Hyundai one I would put at 20,000.
