## Quote — verbatim

> The best part of it is it's on demand. It's the only network right now that can offer on-demand H100s at a reasonable price... there are networks that could do on demand, but not general purpose compute, so Akash is the only general purpose platform.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Describing the reverse-auction order book; he cites live pricing of H100s around $0.34/hr and A100s around $0.70/hr.
