Gen 1 vs Gen 2 $3.5M BOM → $750K BOM. This platform will scale with Lumina for the next decade But the real unlock is that nearly 60% of its components (power distribution, hydraulic modules, cab, etc.) will carry across every future Lumina machine(excavators, etc).

If "who has the best model" for any given AI use case changes on a week-to-week basis, all application layer users of AI must avoid model lock-in like the plague. With low model switching costs, foundation model defensibility must rely on other factors.

Make wine, not war. I would love to make competition between major nations the quality of our products, the breakthroughs of our research, the skill of our athletes, and the innovation of our industries. Nobody wins when power-hungry leaders bully their neighbors.
