## Quote — verbatim

> With GPUs we'll start seeing superiority — that means for the first time you'll see Akash deliver something the current cloud does not have, which is an open market for GPUs... we're offering GPUs for 20 \[percent\] cheaper, and this ubiquitous amount of GPUs, all the way from... proof of work miners, after the merge, moving to proof of stake... having very powerful GPUs.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Post-Ethereum-merge GPU supply thesis; later adds GPUs were "still 5x price from their market" and Akash is "the only way that can tap into unused GPU capacity" for general-purpose ML like TensorFlow (00:55:29).
