You said you considered your launch a success even though most people who tried it during the preview did not get it. How do you think about product market fit for infrastructure products?

More than half the people we had play with Jev before launch simply did not understand it. That was very scary for the non-technical members of the team. But we knew from the computational properties alone that this was going to be huge once the right people touched it. We intentionally targeted developers first because developers find the use cases, then everyone else FOSMOs in. The thing we did not fully anticipate was the rate limit problem. Signups are meaningless for a developer API. What matters is when people start hitting rate limits because they want to run it inside production loops in the background. When machines are calling your API continuously through the night, not just people trying queries, that is the real signal. We surpassed a trillion tokens per day within days of launch and it was not slowing down at night.
