## Quote — verbatim

> Cornell really had a vision of creating a cloud where you can take this compute and actually deliver a similar product, if not better than what we have with Amazon. And we really took that idea and we implemented the first ever, or we built the first ever supercloud. I mean, no one actually built supercloud before us. And we took it one step further. We made it open source. We made it decentralized.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Credits Cornell University with coining "supercloud" [00:02:23]; the premise is vast underutilized compute — data centers used ~15% of the time and powerful home gaming GPUs. Decentralization is framed as embedding core principles "into a system that cannot be changed, no matter how big it grows" [00:03:57].
