[00:00:19]>> [music] >> That changes everything for startups building on AI. You don't need the most expensive model. You need [music] smarter retrieval. And that's not even the wildest part.

Same thing happening at Expedia, at [music] Oracle. The efficiency gains are real, the human cost is equally real. Three stories, one pattern emerging. AI isn't experimental anymore. It's operational.
