## Quote — verbatim

> The first major milestone for Akash Network is parity with the cloud... post parity, imagine having 10,000 providers in every city of the world — GPU, CPU, whatever resource — imagine being able to provision a workload that follows your user no matter where they go.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answer to the long-term-vision question; roadmap is cloud parity first, then hyper-distributed compute.
