## Quote — verbatim

> Akash is device-first... being decentralized, being optimized \[to\] run anywhere, we are very well positioned to be device-first, where the cloud completely skipped the device in the world. So another reason why we're gonna win is because of that — a device-first approach, because there's a whole new generation of machines that haven't touched the cloud.
