## Quote — verbatim

> Phase three is to provide features that are unheard of in web2, like high performance computing with GPUs. We'll be able to attract machine learning and really high performance computing 20 to 30 \[percent\] cheaper than the cloud, and that's a big deal.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Explaining the phased go-to-market roadmap; GPU support was still pre-launch (blocked on upstream Kubernetes GPU support), a year before the GPU marketplace shipped in 2023.
