## Quote — verbatim

> Akash is the only way you can get on-demand \[H\]100. There's nowhere right now that you can get an H100 on demand. You can get H100 if you go long contracts... and it's very, very expensive. But if you want to get H100 for $2 an hour, or $1.59, you can get \[on\] Akash an hour instantly.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

June 2024 market claim, paired with the claim that NVIDIA's "deploy" AI portal routes to Akash via Brev; bracketed fixes for Whisper mishearings ("at $100" → "an H100").
