## Quote — verbatim

> Now Akash has probably more than almost all the DePIN networks in terms of revenue... doing that without any incentives, and our utilization on GPUs — for high-end GPUs like A100s — \[is\] about 95%, and overall GPU utilization is somewhere around 50%.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Argues marketplace health is measured by percentage of goods sold; Akash launched GPUs only after proving organic demand.
