## Quote — verbatim

> GPUs have been such an amazing resource that has always been constrained because of machine learning and AI... I think this text-to-image generation is going to unlock a new era of art and creativity, and this just needs a lot of compute. We as a society do not have enough GPUs to serve the needs of even immediate adoption for AI. So I'm super bullish on Akash supporting GPUs... giving a world where we have AI that's much \[more\] affordable, much cheaper.

October 2022, pre-ChatGPT: he cites Playground AI, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E 2 as demand signals while announcing the GPU marketplace as "our next biggest update perhaps since the launch of the protocol."
