The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“We often, like, run internal benchmarks, and we're like ask a, an agent like, "Hey, like, can you deploy a stable diffusion for us? Use whatever tool you want." Yeah.”
“And, and we see if it recommends modal or not, and those things are very useful for us to sort of track over time. Or like, "Hey, spin up some sandboxes," or like, "Hey, like, rank all the sandbox vendors."”
