## Quote — verbatim

> 這是就是一開始 然後的需求 最好的預測是在數據上的需求 是在Gartner做的 他們說5%的GDP會在數據上的數據上 5% 2030年 那是我們有的需求"
> (Translation: "This is just the beginning of the demand. The best forecast of demand for data \[compute\] was done by Gartner — they say 5% of GDP will be \[spent\] on data \[compute\] — 5%, by 2030. That's the demand we have.")

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Cold-open clip of Greg (rendered in Chinese — voiceover/translation, not his own English voice) citing his frequently repeated Gartner statistic — that roughly 5% of global GDP will go to compute by 2030 — as the demand backdrop for Akash. Quote fidelity is low due to transcription/translation artifacts; the underlying claim matches his English-language talks from the same period.
