“I wanted to solve the cost problem by tapping into slack capacity — the 85% of server capacity today sits unused. Extreme example would be Intuit… they run at 97 or so percent capacity; come April 16th, they drop it down to three or four percent.” — 00:09:34
Context: The founding supply-side thesis for Akash: enterprises provision for peak, leaving idle capacity that a marketplace can monetize. Recurring statistic in his later talks.
