## Quote — verbatim

> One of the things that we will be launching the mainnet \[with\] is H100s... it's impossible to get them from anyone, and we are able to secure them because people bought H100s and are holding onto them and they have nowhere to sell them except on Akash. So a decentralized system is actually helping them get liquidity on their dead asset... Akash will be the only place where machine learning devs get H100s.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering how to draw web2 ML engineers into web3 — offer supply the market can't get; GPUs were on Akash testnet at the time with mainnet launch pending.
