## Quote — verbatim

> If you ask me, I think it's going to take a while by the time you can see something practical in this area... open source AI is doing well and open source AI is not on-chain AI — Akash is great for open source AI. We're at least like five to six years away from on-chain AI.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On-chain inference is impractical due to verification overhead and latency; mentions ZKML research, Gensyn, and Bittensor (which he says will use Akash for pre-training).
