## Quote — verbatim

> When we said GPUs are going to \[be\] scarce, we also called out energy scarcity — energy is going to be scarce. And now we're seeing Elon Musk going on stage and going on podcasts talking about energy. I testified before Congress about energy last year... I feel like every resource that AI touches is getting scarce right now.

Wrapping the origin story — Akash put GPUs on the roadmap pre-ChatGPT ("ChatGPT came in '23, it blew up and we blew up"), and he claims the same early-call pattern for energy.
