## Quote — verbatim

> We're transitioning Akash from like a cheap cloud to the access cloud, just like how we transitioned with Airbnb from a $20 bed-and-breakfast option to now the only place to get a French village... it is about getting access to the resources that you are denied in other markets.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Notes A100s on Akash's reverse-auction marketplace can even price above centralized cloud because buyers care about access, not cost.
