## Quote — verbatim

> We're coming from a position of strength — we're only ones with A100, nobody else has... we're not coming from a position of 'hey, we are cheaper'... we have something no one else has, no one before it has.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

On the imminent GPU marketplace launch during the 2023 A100/H100 shortage; he frames Akash as a "supermarket for these chips" rather than a discount cloud.
