    Question

    Mark Cash asked about cloud consumption trends, specifically if customer experimentation was converting to production programs, and questioned the relationship between the accelerating RPO and forward-looking revenue.

    Answer

    CEO Shlomi Ben Haim noted that cloud usage is healthy and growing, particularly around AI models, and the company's strategy is to convert over-usage into larger annual commitments. CFO Ed Grabscheid cautioned that RPO does not always correlate directly to revenue due to the timing of multi-year deals and advised focusing on the official revenue guidance.
