## Quote — verbatim

> So far we were able to account up to 900,000 GPUs that could potentially come onto Akash that were all left from the Ethereum merge... in this whole year, in 2023, all the supply will be online, and we'll have Akash AI as a beautiful product to deliver this value to AI \[devs\], and AI is going to explode in terms of usage.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Overclock secured "top two of the top five" former Ethereum-mining data-center providers (some publicly traded) plus mining-OS embed deals reaching "maybe even millions of GPUs" ([00:51:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz-Oara8i78&t=3109s)); compares raw GPU supply without delivery UX to uranium without a bomb-delivery mechanism.
