## Quote — verbatim

> Akash again is the only place to get on-demand H100s... H100 is available for \[$1.50\], which is unheard of in traditional cloud. Akash is the only place you can get that.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Captions render the price as "$150"; the demo close ("real-time inference on H100 under [$1.50] an hour") confirms he means ~$1.50/hour. Cites the Semafor story of a Columbia student priced out of AWS who trained on Akash.
