## Quote — verbatim

> We think current cloud is overpriced... on the long run it's going to be the capabilities that's going to differentiate Akash, not cost... Amazon has 60% margins. That's crazy... Snowflake is a public company — 50% of their revenue, that profit, goes to Amazon.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
