## Quote — verbatim

> A home computer that's powerful enough can earn income on Akash when we have applications that would leverage such a computer. So machine learning would be the type of application... so we kind of postponed the Supermini to a few years down the line.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering why the Supermini home supercomputer was shelved: no GPU support yet and demand skewed to data-center compute; an early (2022) version of the home-GPU-income thesis he later ships as Akash Home Node.
