    "text": "Just to kind of put an example to this, we've created these tools and these systems where researchers can run experiments directly from Slack. We … avoid this state of being bottlenecked on humans launching, and reviewing, and babysitting runs. And we actually have an entire team just working on automating every part of the research work that isn't freeing up the researchers' time to work on their most ambitious ideas. So every person on the ML team gets access to this fleet of agents they can basically train models directly from Slack.",
