## Quote — verbatim

> Machine learning happens to be our biggest use case, even though Akash is generic compute... because of the cost advantage that we're seeing with machine learning applications.

June 2020 — years before the GPU marketplace launched; earlier he states "the cost advantage is literally about 10 times over the market" ([00:46:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3JjJldfU3o&t=2760s)).
