## Quote — verbatim

> A big portion of the roadmap current focus is to get to parity to Amazon web services. Post-parity is when, I think, Akash will start really seeing stuff that are not possible... How about, you know, 1,000 plus regions close to cell phone towers offering 10 millisecond latency...? What kind of possibilities do you unlock when you have such high-performance cloud? Well, you can do cloud gaming... that's just the tip of the iceberg.

His two-phase framing of Akash's future (quote spans into the 00:20:33 block): pre-parity serves what it can today (GPUs); post-parity unlocks hyper-local edge compute impossible for centralized clouds.
