## Quote — verbatim

> Last check it was north of 90% for one-week time frames, and about 50% utilization cumulative for all resources... Filecoin has less than 1% utilization of their storage network. So now we have an interesting problem where traditionally crypto has been good at oversupply and less demand — here we have the opposite problem: high demand and less supply.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Near-100% utilization of high-density GPUs weeks after GPU launch; motivates incentive design targeting 95% provider utilization and 50% network oversupply.
