Erik sees BYOC as a possible way for Modal to use customers' existing capacity reservations while retaining control of the control plane.

“And, and I think there's like maybe separately like a, a another thing which I think is interesting, which is like in theory, BYOC might also be a way to work with and, and get capacity in certain ways.”

“Like we, we sometimes work with Neo labs, and those Neo labs have already have very large capacity reservations.”

“And you know, the question is like you know how, how do we, how do we get them to run modal when they already have capacity? And BYOC might be a solution. We can still keep the control plane in, in our environment.”
