Google Agent Whitepaper

· 5 min read
Lark Birdy
Chief Bird Officer

While language models like GPT-4 and Gemini have captured public attention with their conversational abilities, a more profound revolution is happening: the rise of AI agents. As detailed in Google's recent whitepaper, these agents aren't just smart chatbots – they're AI systems that can actively perceive, reason about, and influence the real world.

The Evolution of AI Capabilities

Think of traditional AI models like incredibly knowledgeable professors locked in a room with no internet or phone. They can offer brilliant insights, but only based on what they learned before entering the room. AI agents, on the other hand, are like professors with a full suite of modern tools at their disposal – they can look up current information, send emails, make calculations, and coordinate complex tasks.

Here's what sets agents apart from traditional models:

  • Real-time Information: While models are limited to their training data, agents can access current information through external tools and APIs
  • Action Taking: Agents don't just suggest actions – they can execute them through function calls and API interactions
  • Memory Management: Agents maintain context across multiple interactions, learning from each exchange to improve their responses
  • Tool Integration: Native ability to use external tools and APIs is built into their architecture, not bolted on as an afterthought

How Agents Think: The Cognitive Architecture

The real magic of agents lies in their "cognitive architecture" – the system that governs how they reason and make decisions. The whitepaper details three key approaches:

  1. ReAct: A framework where agents alternate between reasoning about their situation and taking concrete actions. Imagine a chef who constantly evaluates their progress and adjusts their cooking strategy.

  2. Chain-of-Thought: Agents break down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, showing their work along the way. This is similar to how a mathematician solves complex equations step by step.

  3. Tree-of-Thoughts: Agents explore multiple possible solution paths simultaneously, like a chess player considering different moves and their consequences.

Here's a real example from the whitepaper of how an agent might handle a flight booking request:

User: "I want to book a flight from Austin to Zurich"

Agent Thought: I should search for flights first
Action: [Calls flight search API]
Observation: Multiple flight options found

Agent Thought: I should check for best prices and routes
Action: [Analyzes search results]
Observation: Found optimal connections and pricing

Agent Thought: User needs clear summary of options
Final Answer: "Here are the best flight options..."

The Agent's Toolkit: How They Interact with the World

The whitepaper identifies three distinct ways agents can interact with external systems:

1. Extensions

These are agent-side tools that allow direct API calls. Think of them as the agent's hands – they can reach out and interact with external services directly. Google's whitepaper shows how these are particularly useful for real-time operations like checking flight prices or weather forecasts.

2. Functions

Unlike extensions, functions run on the client side. This provides more control and security, making them ideal for sensitive operations. The agent specifies what needs to be done, but the actual execution happens under the client's supervision.

Difference between extensions and functions:

3. Data Stores

These are the agent's reference libraries, providing access to both structured and unstructured data. Using vector databases and embeddings, agents can quickly find relevant information in vast datasets.

How Agents Learn and Improve

The whitepaper outlines three fascinating approaches to agent learning:

  1. In-context Learning: Like a chef given a new recipe and ingredients, agents learn to handle new tasks through examples and instructions provided at runtime.

  2. Retrieval-based Learning: Imagine a chef with access to a vast cookbook library. Agents can dynamically pull relevant examples and instructions from their data stores.

  3. Fine-tuning: This is like sending a chef to culinary school – systematic training on specific types of tasks to improve overall performance.

Building Production-Ready Agents

The most practical section of the whitepaper deals with implementing agents in production environments. Using Google's Vertex AI platform, developers can build agents that combine:

  • Natural language understanding for user interactions
  • Tool integration for real-world actions
  • Memory management for contextual responses
  • Monitoring and evaluation systems

The Future of Agent Architecture

Perhaps most exciting is the concept of "agent chaining" – combining specialized agents to handle complex tasks. Imagine a travel planning system that combines:

  • A flight booking agent
  • A hotel recommendation agent
  • A local activities planning agent
  • A weather monitoring agent

Each specializes in its domain but works together to create comprehensive solutions.

What This Means for the Future

The emergence of AI agents represents a fundamental shift in artificial intelligence – from systems that can only think to systems that can think and do. While we're still in early days, the architecture and approaches outlined in Google's whitepaper provide a clear roadmap for how AI will evolve from a passive tool to an active participant in solving real-world problems.

For developers, business leaders, and technology enthusiasts, understanding AI agents isn't just about keeping up with trends – it's about preparing for a future where AI becomes a true collaborative partner in human endeavors.

Ritual: The $25M Bet on Making Blockchains Think

· 8 min read
Lark Birdy
Chief Bird Officer

Ritual, founded in 2023 by former Polychain investor Niraj Pant and Akilesh Potti, is an ambitious project at the intersection of blockchain and AI. Backed by a $25M Series A led by Archetype and strategic investment from Polychain Capital, the company aims to address critical infrastructure gaps in enabling complex on-chain and off-chain interactions. With a team of 30 experts from leading institutions and firms, Ritual is building a protocol that integrates AI capabilities directly into blockchain environments, targeting use cases like natural-language-generated smart contracts and dynamic market-driven lending protocols.

Ritual: The $25M Bet on Making Blockchains Think

Why Customers Need Web3 for AI

The integration of Web3 and AI can alleviate many limitations seen in traditional, centralized AI systems.

  1. Decentralized infrastructure helps reduce the risk of manipulation: when AI computations and model outputs are executed by multiple, independently operated nodes, it becomes far more difficult for any single entity—be it the developer or a corporate intermediary—to tamper with results. This bolsters user confidence and transparency in AI-driven applications.

  2. Web3-native AI expands the scope of on-chain smart contracts beyond just basic financial logic. With AI in the loop, contracts can respond to real-time market data, user-generated prompts, and even complex inference tasks. This enables use cases such as algorithmic trading, automated lending decisions, and in-chat interactions (e.g., FrenRug) that would be impossible under existing, siloed AI APIs. Because the AI outputs are verifiable and integrated with on-chain assets, these high-value or high-stakes decisions can be executed with greater trust and fewer intermediaries.

  3. Distributing the AI workload across a network can potentially lower costs and enhance scalability. Even though AI computations can be expensive, a well-designed Web3 environment draws from a global pool of compute resources rather than a single centralized provider. This opens up more flexible pricing, improved reliability, and the possibility for continuous, on-chain AI workflows—all underpinned by shared incentives for node operators to offer their computing power.

Ritual's Approach

The system has three main layers—Infernet Oracle, Ritual Chain (infrastructure and protocol), and Native Applications—each designed to address different challenges in the Web3 x AI space.

1. Infernet Oracle

  • What It Does Infernet is Ritual’s first product, acting as a bridge between on-chain smart contracts and off-chain AI compute. Rather than just fetching external data, it coordinates AI model inference tasks, collects results, and returns them on-chain in a verifiable manner.
  • Key Components
    • Containers: Secure environments to host any AI/ML workload (e.g., ONNX, Torch, Hugging Face models, GPT-4).
    • infernet-ml: An optimized library for deploying AI/ML workflows, offering ready-to-use integrations with popular model frameworks.
    • Infernet SDK: Provides a standardized interface so developers can easily write smart contracts that request and consume AI inference results.
    • Infernet Nodes: Deployed on services like GCP or AWS, these nodes listen for on-chain inference requests, execute tasks in containers, and deliver results back on-chain.
    • Payment & Verification: Manages fee distribution (between compute and verification nodes) and supports various verification methods to ensure tasks are executed honestly.
  • Why It Matters Infernet goes beyond a traditional oracle by verifying off-chain AI computations, not just data feeds. It also supports scheduling repeated or time-sensitive inference jobs, reducing the complexity of linking AI-driven tasks to on-chain applications.

2. Ritual Chain

Ritual Chain integrates AI-friendly features at both the infrastructure and protocol layers. It is designed to handle frequent, automated, and complex interactions between smart contracts and off-chain compute, extending far beyond what typical L1s can manage.

2.1 Infrastructure Layer

  • What It Does Ritual Chain’s infrastructure supports more complex AI workflows than standard blockchains. Through precompiled modules, a scheduler, and an EVM extension called EVM++, it aims to facilitate frequent or streaming AI tasks, robust account abstractions, and automated contract interactions.

  • Key Components

    • Precompiled Modules

      :

      • EIP Extensions (e.g., EIP-665, EIP-5027) remove code-length limits, reduce gas for signatures, and enable trust between chain and off-chain AI tasks.
      • Computational Precompiles standardize frameworks for AI inference, zero-knowledge proofs, and model fine-tuning within smart contracts.
    • Scheduler: Eliminates reliance on external “Keeper” contracts by allowing tasks to run on a fixed schedule (e.g., every 10 minutes). Crucial for continuous AI-driven activities.

    • EVM++: Enhances the EVM with native account abstraction (EIP-7702), letting contracts auto-approve transactions for a set period. This supports continuous AI-driven decisions (e.g., auto-trading) without human intervention.

  • Why It Matters By embedding AI-focused features directly into its infrastructure, Ritual Chain streamlines complex, repetitive, or time-sensitive AI computations. Developers gain a more robust and automated environment to build truly “intelligent” dApps.

2.2 Consensus Protocol Layer

  • What It Does Ritual Chain’s protocol layer addresses the need to manage diverse AI tasks efficiently. Large inference jobs and heterogeneous compute nodes require special fee-market logic and a novel consensus approach to ensure smooth execution and verification.
  • Key Components
    • Resonance (Fee Market):
      • Introduces “auctioneer” and “broker” roles to match AI tasks of varying complexity with suitable compute nodes.
      • Employs near-exhaustive or “bundled” task allocation to maximize network throughput, ensuring powerful nodes handle complex tasks without stalling.
    • Symphony (Consensus):
      • Splits AI computations into parallel sub-tasks for verification. Multiple nodes validate process steps and outputs separately.
      • Prevents large AI tasks from overloading the network by distributing verification workloads across multiple nodes.
    • vTune:
      • Demonstrates how to verify node-performed model fine-tuning on-chain by using “backdoor” data checks.
      • Illustrates Ritual Chain’s broader capability to handle longer, more intricate AI tasks with minimal trust assumptions.
  • Why It Matters Traditional fee markets and consensus models struggle with heavy or diverse AI workloads. By redesigning both, Ritual Chain can dynamically allocate tasks and verify results, expanding on-chain possibilities far beyond basic token or contract logic.

3. Native Applications

  • What They Do Building on Infernet and Ritual Chain, native applications include a model marketplace and a validation network, showcasing how AI-driven functionality can be natively integrated and monetized on-chain.
  • Key Components
    • Model Marketplace:
      • Tokenizes AI models (and possibly fine-tuned variants) as on-chain assets.
      • Lets developers buy, sell, or license AI models, with proceeds rewarded to model creators and compute/data providers.
    • Validation Network & “Rollup-as-a-Service”:
      • Offers external protocols (e.g., L2s) a reliable environment for computing and verifying complex tasks like zero-knowledge proofs or AI-driven queries.
      • Provides customized rollup solutions leveraging Ritual’s EVM++, scheduling features, and fee-market design.
  • Why It Matters By making AI models directly tradable and verifiable on-chain, Ritual extends blockchain functionality into a marketplace for AI services and datasets. The broader network can also tap Ritual’s infrastructure for specialized compute, forming a unified ecosystem where AI tasks and proofs are both cheaper and more transparent.

Ritual’s Ecosystem Development

Ritual’s vision of an “open AI infrastructure network” goes hand-in-hand with forging a robust ecosystem. Beyond the core product design, the team has built partnerships across model storage, compute, proof systems, and AI applications to ensure each layer of the network receives expert support. At the same time, Ritual invests heavily in developer resources and community growth to foster real-world use cases on its chain.

  1. Ecosystem Collaborations
  • Model Storage & Integrity: Storing AI models with Arweave ensures they remain tamper-proof.
  • Compute Partnerships: IO.net supplies decentralized compute matching Ritual’s scaling needs.
  • Proof Systems & Layer-2: Collaborations with Starkware and Arbitrum extend proof-generation capabilities for EVM-based tasks.
  • AI Consumer Apps: Partnerships with Myshell and Story Protocol bring more AI-powered services on-chain.
  • Model Asset Layer: Pond, Allora, and 0xScope provide additional AI resources and push on-chain AI boundaries.
  • Privacy Enhancements: Nillion strengthens Ritual Chain’s privacy layer.
  • Security & Staking: EigenLayer helps secure and stake on the network.
  • Data Availability: EigenLayer and Celestia modules enhance data availability, vital for AI workloads.
  1. Application Expansion
  • Developer Resources: Comprehensive guides detail how to spin up AI containers, run PyTorch, and integrate GPT-4 or Mistral-7B into on-chain tasks. Hands-on examples—like generating NFTs via Infernet—lower barriers for newcomers.
  • Funding & Acceleration: Ritual Altar accelerator and the Ritual Realm project provide capital and mentorship to teams building dApps on Ritual Chain.
  • Notable Projects:
    • Anima: Multi-agent DeFi assistant that processes natural-language requests across lending, swaps, and yield strategies.
    • Opus: AI-generated meme tokens with scheduled trading flows.
    • Relic: Incorporates AI-driven predictive models into AMMs, aiming for more flexible and efficient on-chain trading.
    • Tithe: Leverages ML to dynamically adjust lending protocols, improving yield while lowering risk.

By aligning product design, partnerships, and a diverse set of AI-driven dApps, Ritual positions itself as a multifaceted hub for Web3 x AI. Its ecosystem-first approach—complemented by ample developer support and real funding opportunities—lays the groundwork for broader AI adoption on-chain.

Ritual’s Outlook

Ritual’s product plans and ecosystem look promising, but many technical gaps remain. Developers still need to solve fundamental problems like setting up model-inference endpoints, speeding up AI tasks, and coordinating multiple nodes for large-scale computations. For now, the core architecture can handle simpler use cases; the real challenge is inspiring developers to build more imaginative AI-powered applications on-chain.

Down the road, Ritual might focus less on finance and more on making compute or model assets tradable. This would attract participants and strengthen network security by tying the chain’s token to practical AI workloads. Although details on the token design are still unclear, it’s clear that Ritual’s vision is to spark a new generation of complex, decentralized, AI-driven applications—pushing Web3 into deeper, more creative territory.

The Rise of Full-Stack Decentralized AI: A 2025 Outlook

· 4 min read
Lark Birdy
Chief Bird Officer

AI and crypto's convergence has long been hyped but poorly executed. Past efforts to decentralize AI fragmented the stack without delivering real value. The future isn't about piecemeal decentralization—it’s about building full-stack AI platforms that are truly decentralized, integrating compute, data, and intelligence into cohesive, self-sustaining ecosystems.

Cuckoo Network

I’ve spent months interviewing 47 developers, founders, and researchers at this intersection. The consensus? A full-stack decentralized AI is the future of computational intelligence, and 2025 will be its breakout year.

The $1.7 Trillion Market Gap

AI infrastructure today is dominated by a few players:

  • Four companies control 92% of NVIDIA's H100 GPU supply.
  • These GPUs generate up to $1.4M in annual revenue per unit.
  • AI inference markups exceed 80%.

This centralization stifles innovation and creates inefficiencies ripe for disruption. Decentralized full-stack AI platforms like Cuckoo Network aim to eliminate these bottlenecks by democratizing access to compute, data, and intelligence.

Full-Stack Decentralized AI: Expanding the Vision

A full-stack decentralized AI platform not only integrates compute, data, and intelligence but also opens doors to transformative new use cases at the intersection of blockchain and AI. Let’s explore these layers in light of emerging trends.

1. Decentralized Compute Markets

Centralized compute providers charge inflated fees and concentrate resources. Decentralized platforms like Gensyn and Cuckoo Network enable:

  • Elastic Compute: On-demand access to GPUs across distributed networks.
  • Verifiable Computation: Cryptographic proofs ensure computations are accurate.
  • Lower Costs: Early benchmarks show cost reductions of 30-70%.

Further, the rise of AI-Fi is creating novel economic primitives. GPUs are becoming yield-bearing assets, with on-chain liquidity allowing data centers to finance hardware acquisitions. The development of decentralized training frameworks and inference orchestration is accelerating, paving the way for truly scalable AI compute infrastructure.

2. Community-Driven Data Ecosystems

AI’s reliance on data makes centralized datasets a bottleneck. Decentralized systems, leveraging Data DAOs and privacy-enhancing technologies like zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), enable:

  • Fair Value Attribution: Dynamic pricing and ownership models reward contributors.
  • Real-Time Data Markets: Data becomes a tradable, tokenized asset.

However, as AI models demand increasingly complex datasets, data markets will need to balance quality and privacy. Tools for probabilistic privacy primitives, such as secure multi-party computation (MPC) and federated learning, will become essential in ensuring both transparency and security in decentralized AI applications.

3. Transparent AI Intelligence

AI systems today are black boxes. Decentralized intelligence brings transparency through:

  • Auditable Models: Smart contracts ensure accountability and transparency.
  • Explainable Decisions: AI outputs are interpretable and trust-enhancing.

Emerging trends like agentic intents—where autonomous AI agents transact or act on-chain—offer a glimpse into how decentralized AI could redefine workflows, micropayments, and even governance. Platforms must ensure seamless interoperability between agent-based and human-based systems for these innovations to thrive.

Emerging Categories in Decentralized AI

Agent-to-Agent Interaction

Blockchains are inherently composable, making them ideal for agent-to-agent interactions. This design space includes autonomous agents engaging in financial transactions, launching tokens, or facilitating workflows. In decentralized AI, these agents could collaborate on complex tasks, from model training to data verification.

Generative Content and Entertainment

AI agents aren’t just workers—they can also create. From agentic multimedia entertainment to dynamic, generative in-game content, decentralized AI can unlock new categories of user experiences. Imagine virtual personas seamlessly blending blockchain payments with AI-generated narratives to redefine digital storytelling.

Compute Accounting Standards

The lack of standardized compute accounting has plagued traditional and decentralized systems alike. To compete, decentralized AI networks must prioritize transparency by enabling apples-to-apples comparisons of compute quality and output. This will not only boost user trust but also create a verifiable foundation for scaling decentralized compute markets.

What Builders and Investors Should Do

The opportunity in full-stack decentralized AI is immense but requires focus:

  • Leverage AI Agents for Workflow Automation: Agents that transact autonomously can streamline enterprise authentication, micropayments, and cross-platform integration.
  • Build for Interoperability: Ensure compatibility with existing AI pipelines and emerging tools like agentic transaction interfaces.
  • Prioritize UX and Trust: Adoption hinges on simplicity, transparency, and verifiability.

Looking Ahead

The future of AI is not fragmented but unified through decentralized, full-stack platforms. These systems optimize compute, data, and intelligence layers, redistributing power and enabling unprecedented innovation. With the integration of agentic workflows, probabilistic privacy primitives, and transparent accounting standards, decentralized AI can bridge the gap between ideology and practicality.

In 2025, success will come to platforms that deliver real value by building cohesive, user-first ecosystems. The age of truly decentralized AI is just beginning—and its impact will be transformational.

Cuckoo Network is thrilled to announce the completion of its pilot phase for GPU mining rewards distribution. Not only has the pilot been a success, but the network has also achieved significant growth. In this phase, we distributed 450,000 CAI tokens to our dedicated pilot GPU miners, marking a key step toward building a robust, decentralized AI infrastructure.

Cuckoo Network Rewards Top Miners After Successful Pilot Phase

Celebrating Our Achievements

Before diving into the details, let’s celebrate some key metrics that highlight the strength and potential of the Cuckoo Network:

  • 43 Active Miners: This growing number demonstrates increasing participation, ensuring a diverse and resilient infrastructure for AI computations.
  • Over 60,000 Images Generated: This underscores the practical demand for our decentralized AI services, particularly in image generation.
  • More than 8,000 Unique Addresses Served: This indicates broad adoption, with a growing user base relying on Cuckoo Network for AI-powered solutions.

Future Directions: Focusing on Top Performers with Flexibility

As we move forward, we're adjusting our reward structure to prioritize the top 10 voted miners in the community. This strategy aims to boost the network's growth and efficiency, but it’s flexible and open to future adjustments based on performance and community feedback. We’re considering introducing a multi-tiered reward system in the future, extending incentives to the top 20, 40, 80, 160 miners, and beyond.

Why We're Making This Change

  1. Enhancing Network Quality: Rewarding top miners incentivizes high-quality contributions, optimizing network performance for all users.
  2. Promoting Engagement: This system encourages miners to actively engage with and support the community, fostering a more vibrant ecosystem.
  3. Ensuring Sustainability: Focusing on top performers helps manage our token economy sustainably while maintaining a high-quality network.
  4. Driving Innovation: Competition for top spots pushes miners to innovate, benefiting the entire network.

Key Changes

  1. Targeted Distribution: Mining rewards will be distributed exclusively to the top 10 voted miners.
  2. Community-Driven: Votes from the community will determine the top contributors, empowering the community to shape the network’s future.

What This Means for Miners

  • Top Performers: Expect more substantial rewards if you consistently rank among the top-voted miners.
  • All Miners: Engage with the community and optimize your operations to earn a top spot.

Opportunities Beyond Mining

Cuckoo Network offers opportunities for everyone, not just miners. You can still earn CAI tokens through our Airdrop Portal or by staking in our Staking Portal.

  • Airdrop Portal: Over 110,000 CAI tokens have been distributed to active community members. Participate in discussions, create content, or contribute feedback to earn rewards.
  • Staking Portal: Stake your tokens to support network stability and earn rewards, contributing to the health and growth of Cuckoo Network.

Wrapping Up

This transition marks an exciting chapter for Cuckoo Network. By focusing rewards on top-performing miners and offering opportunities through our Airdrop and Staking Portals, we aim to build a diverse, engaged, and high-quality ecosystem. Our balanced approach will drive innovation, strengthen the network, and ensure that all contributors benefit as we grow.

Thank you to all our miners, developers, users, content creators, and supporters. Together, we're not just reaching milestones; we're redefining what's possible in decentralized AI computation.

Stay tuned for more updates, and whether you’re mining, staking, or participating through our Airdrop Portal, keep contributing to the Cuckoo Network community!

Cuckoo Art Introduces One-Click Sharing to X/Twitter

Cuckoo Art, the revolutionary AI-powered art creation platform, today announced a new feature allowing users to share their creations directly to X/Twitter with just one click. This integration bridges the gap between Cuckoo Art's creative community and the broader social media landscape, enabling artists to showcase their work to a global audience instantly.

Cuckoo Art Introduces One-Click Sharing to X/Twitter

"We're excited to offer our users a seamless way to share their Cuckoo Art creations with the world," said Lark Birdy, CEO of Cuckoo Network. "This feature not only amplifies our artists' voices but also introduces Cuckoo Art to potential new users through the power of social sharing."

The new sharing feature is now available to all Cuckoo Art users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the X/Twitter sharing feature work?

A: After creating or viewing an artwork on Cuckoo Art, users will see a "Share to X" button. Clicking this button will open a pre-populated X/Twitter post with the artwork image and a link back to Cuckoo Art. Users can add their own text before posting.

Q: Do I need to connect my X/Twitter account to Cuckoo Art?

A: No, the sharing feature uses X/Twitter's native sharing functionality, so you'll be prompted to log in to X/Twitter (if you're not already) when you click the share button.

Q: What information is shared when I post to X/Twitter?

A: The post will include the image of the artwork, a link to view it on Cuckoo Art, and any additional text you choose to add. By default, it will also include the hashtag #CuckooArt.

Q: Can I customize what's shared to X/Twitter?

A: Yes, you can edit the text of the post before sharing. However, the image and link to Cuckoo Art will always be included to maintain attribution.

A: No, sharing to X/Twitter does not change your rights to the artwork. You retain all rights as defined in Cuckoo Art's terms of service.

Q: Is there a limit to how many times I can share to X/Twitter?

A: There's no limit imposed by Cuckoo Art, but please be mindful of X/Twitter's posting guidelines to avoid any issues with their platform.

Q: Can I share others' artworks or only my own?

A: You can share any public artwork on Cuckoo Art. When sharing another user's work, proper attribution will be included automatically.

Q: Will this feature be available for other social media platforms in the future?

A: We're starting with X/Twitter integration, but we're exploring options to expand to other platforms based on user feedback and demand.

Q: How does this benefit the Cuckoo Art community?

A: This feature increases exposure for our artists, potentially attracts new users to the platform, and helps build a stronger connection between Cuckoo Art and wider social media communities.

Q: Is there any integration with meme ERC20 or ERC721 tokens when sharing to X/Twitter?

A: Currently, the sharing feature focuses on the artwork itself and doesn't directly integrate with blockchain tokens. However, we're exploring potential future features that could allow users to mint their Cuckoo Art creations as ERC721 NFTs or associate them with ERC20 meme tokens. These tokens could potentially be referenced or showcased when sharing to X/Twitter, adding an extra layer of blockchain integration and value to the shared content. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting possibility!
