Why NVIDIA Connect Matters

SPEAKER_01

Getting the recognition, getting through. And it the acceptance came back within, I think, 24 hours.

SPEAKER_00

I think Jensen Wong was probably sitting there waiting. It goes arrived. They just showed up.

SPEAKER_01

Well, of course.

SPEAKER_00

Approved. Let's go. How about that?

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

You're gonna have um deliverables to you in a fraction of the time. How exciting.

SPEAKER_00

We're changing the market, right? So I don't even know. This is huge, huge news. Yeah, so right now, real time.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so our the next generation of what we're developing relies heavily on artificial intelligence. It is the brain of so much of its operations.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

And that is why we brought on all of these brilliant

Vision, Scale, And Thor

SPEAKER_01

minds.

SPEAKER_00

Specifically NVIDIA talented people that are working in that platform, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we have some between the team that we've already brought on, we have close to a hundred years of experience in AI development. And a lot of that is coming from the NVIDIA experience, which is really it is.

SPEAKER_00

I don't even know what to say to that.

SPEAKER_01

I know, it's super cool.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_01

And they're geeking out about it. Um, the day that they got the email that we got it uh accepted, I they shot me over the announcement and we ran back. Everybody's given high five.

SPEAKER_00

Kylie had to approve it. It went to her. It went to email approval.

SPEAKER_01

I might have helped in the process a little bit. We gave them some materials that they could do.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, no, seriously, do you include Kylie? You do get acknowledgement there, all kidding aside. You did a great job. It was a team effort, and you did a lot of it, so thanks.

SPEAKER_01

It was it was a lot of fun. Rue Polly, too. She helped design the deck and everything. So um, but now the the real work starts. And so basically, what the acceptance in this program is allowing us to do is it's providing access to NVIDIA's suite of AI tools,

Speed, Savings, And Credibility

SPEAKER_01

just direct access.

SPEAKER_00

And their people. And their people and resources, other companies in the program as well. A lot of cross-pollinization. It's just huge. And who knows where this could lead, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I mean, we we do envision ourselves being one of NVIDIA's largest customers at scale uh for a specific product that they offer called the Thor card. So um, you know, we're talking the potential of billions of dollars. So, you know, we think big, you gotta think big to get big, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. So it offers us discounts as well, and so not only is this program allowing us to I don't want to put a double, triple, or quadruple our efficiencies, but it's something in that vein. I mean, it is it's speeding up our development times exponentially, and then it's also making the development cheaper. So how can that's a win-win?

SPEAKER_00

And where this can lead, yeah. You know, fingers crossed, right? Being on the radar with NVIDIA is huge. You know, potential investment from NVIDIA at some point, uh, co-development of opportunities, uh, just opening up into the ecosystem and being mentioned in the same

Our Own AI, Not White-Label

SPEAKER_00

breath as NVIDIA is is huge, right? Yeah, um, it's great credibility, traction, it's all that. You know, you don't just be a flyby nighter company and and get into a program like this.

SPEAKER_01

Not at all.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it um it took a lot of work to you know get granular of how we're gonna be using the program.

SPEAKER_00

They had to see the vision of what we could bring, right? And and that's validating, right? We've got this, you know, um first line AI team here. We're not white labeling other people's stuff. We're we've got our own secret sauce. They saw the vision of what we're doing, and here we are. So uh, you know, the promise of arrive AI, you're always gonna hear the good, bad, and the ugly here first, right? Luckily, we just have always good things to say. But you know, this is real time. Seriously, we're coming out to you. You haven't seen this anywhere on social or anything yet, and you're seeing it

First To Hear And What’s Next

SPEAKER_00

here first. So yeah, we appreciate you know that.

SPEAKER_01

And what's another thing of note is while this is a huge deal for us, it's just a drop in the bucket with how we envision um working with NVIDIA and NVIDIA tools going forward. This is just this is a big milestone for us. But as we're thinking large, eventually we'll look back and be like, that was that was a milestone. That's a big milestone.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, another milestone. Yeah, my deal toy from earlier today, right? Don't forget that. But but anyway, this is huge. We hired with the idea of working with NVIDIA.
