## Quote — verbatim

> That should be out in another six months or so if everything goes right — and turns out making a multi-tenancy marketplace for GPUs is not the easiest thing... if you can run TensorFlow on Akash — you can right now, but with GPUs — I think that's going to be a holy grail.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Timeline forecast for Akash GPU support; he also relays a researcher's claim that ~90% of GPU cost in self-driving development is (non-latency-sensitive) debugging/replay, making geographically distributed GPUs viable.
