## Quote — verbatim

> Akash today is used by numerous companies, the biggest one being Nvidia. Akash, I believe, is the only protocol integrated into Nvidia products. Today you can actually go to Nvidia Brev and deploy an Akash instance. Companies like Nous, Prime Intellect... Nous Research is one of the top AI companies that recently figured out how to do distributed training.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Adoption claims; also cites Venice AI as a privacy-optimized chatbot running on Akash and ~27,000 leases in the prior quarter.
