## Quote — verbatim

> We are at a product market fit stage for GPUs. And we have real usage. We have about, say, 50 \[percent\] overall utilization, and I believe 60 to 70 percent utilization for high density GPUs... a lot of the other networks that have launched just throw the towel and see what happens. But their utilizations are less than 1%.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Capacity stats (~400 GPUs, ~20,000 CPUs, quote spans into the 00:10:10 block); he argues incentives before demand are wasted, and says on-chain incentives await cryptographic (not TEE-based) resource verification.
