## Quote — verbatim

> That's that Ethereum network in itself attracted, right, so 19 billion dollars of GPUs available means we should be able to be in a good position to leverage those GPUs onto Akash Network, thereby reducing the GPU cost on the cloud significantly. So we can't really wait for the ETH merge to happen, and we'll have the GPU capability by then.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Discussing a Messari article positioning Akash as a destination for the huge GPU supply that Ethereum's proof-of-stake merge (Sept 2022) would idle; Greg says GPU support is a "big dream" they are racing to ship.
