## Quote — verbatim

> Right now Akash supports CPUs only, but in about six months' time you'll start supporting GPUs — the work is underway. What that means is a lower cost GPU-based compute. As you know, GPU is very, very expensive on the cloud, so any cost reduction I think is a big, big win for the data science community.
