## Quote — verbatim

> The major, major milestone — I think next 45 days — is going to be Akash AI... It is going to be the best AI developer product, and that's the goal. It's not about non-custodial nature, it's not about crypto... AI developers are not going to use Akash because it's decentralized; AI developers are going to use Akash because they get cheap GPUs and good developer experience.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

A deliberate break from Akash's no-UI tradition — verticalizing for AI speed; product framing at [00:25:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=328BxcY4ec4&t=1525s) and [00:26:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=328BxcY4ec4&t=1567s). Cites crypto-wallet onboarding friction at AI hackathons as the motivation.
