## Quote — verbatim

> The need for GPUs is like doubling every four months and we are ready. About 19 billion dollars worth of GPUs are sitting dormant because of eth merge — that all needs to see the market, and Akash is ready to get into this. Don't confuse GPUs for GPU mining — these GPUs are used for something useful, which is essentially AI.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His 12-18 month outlook for Akash: Mainnet 4 shipping the next week, Mainnet 5 with GPUs soon after, and generative art/AI named as an emerging GPU-hungry narrative.
