## Quote — verbatim

> The price points are so attractive — you can get sub-$2 H100s on demand, which is unheard of... an H100 on Akash costs about $1.46; the same thing would cost about $12 on Amazon, if you can get it... In order to get H100s you need to get into these long contracts. No one's going to give a researcher \[who\] wants two H100s on demand.
