## Quote — verbatim

> The provider incentives will be used to incentivize high-end GPUs like A100s, H100s. We're anticipating from our estimations that an A100 will cost you somewhere around 50 cents — compare that to a traditional cloud offering which is about four dollars an hour... If you ask any AI dev and offer them an A100 for 50 cents, they will kidnap you.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Pre-GPU-launch pricing forecast; incentives designed to attract high-end data-center GPUs rather than miners' 4090s.
