20:49problem. So that is that is the reason you need to tune those models to match yours. Um and I really believe the future will be will not be a few small number of AGI models dominant world. I really believe the future will be it may be scary but I think that's true. It will be millions of specialized model one per application per use case. We saw in the last week actually reports
21:20that China were looking at actually restricting access to their open models because they were seeing the development being so fast and so good. What would happen in a world where China actually started restricting access to their open models given the lack of open models we have in the US? >> I think it will be a big impact in the short term.
