And the way to think about it is we've always said in our long-term model, that OpEx should grow slower than revenue, and we would expect that in, you know, 2026 as well, especially as we get into the second half of the year and we see inflection in the revenue.

Like, how big was it? Jean Hu: So, Stacy, let me answer your first question on the $100 million revenue in Q1.
