## Quote — verbatim

> We're starting the incentivized testnet in a week or so — we have about 300 signups right now... a lot of them are doing machine learning, so about 150 new machine learning applications soon. So as we launch our mainnet I think we're going to see an explosion in machine learning, because the value prop is very clear and demand is very clear.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Just ahead of Akash's GPU mainnet launch (Mainnet 6, August 2023); he also previews the Akash AI verticalized client ("two lines" to run a model).
