## Quote — verbatim

> So far Akash is just really trying to create a parity game... can we give capabilities of the current cloud provider... 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... offering GPUs for \[way\] cheaper and the ubiquitous amount of GPUs, all the way from miners... after the merge.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

November 2022, before Akash's GPU launch; anticipates post-Ethereum-merge mining GPUs flooding the marketplace.
