2:48Anyways, we created this full stack AI factory and on top of it we said, listen, how can we turn every single enterprise into an agentic enterprise?
7:19I'm pretty sure what we want to do is Agentforce every company. You guys good with that?
Jensen, congratulations on everything you are doing for the whole company. The GPU is a huge success. It's transformed everything. You're sitting next to David Kirk on our board who I think was at NVIDIA for a while.
Give us your vision of the future? Where are we going? You have the critical components. You have the GPU and now you have the number one open source platform in the world companies like ours can fine tune. How do you think this can go ahead. We can do this.
We can find anything and with artificial intelligence as an infrastructure layer we can know and do anything. So this layer -- you want to go this way.
This is good. And so now that's the first part. Now the work we do together and what we see is every company, every enterprise, every country would become an AI company. Everybody would be. You're an AI company. I'm an AI company. It's going to be an agentic enterprise. We said, listen, we took the GPU and evolved it into giant systems that are full stack AI companies. Just follow me.
