## Quote — verbatim

> With H100 we end up being the only cloud provider to have H100... it's no longer just an alternative cloud that's cheap, it's now the cloud that can get \[you\] resources that you can\['t\] get on the traditional cloud, and that's going to be the future.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Claim about Akash "branching off" from clouds by offering scarce hardware and exotic options (NVMe, alternate runtimes) unavailable elsewhere.
