## Quote — verbatim

> We wanted to put gas on GPUs, and that leads into minimizing the resource requirements to run an Akash provider to a point it can be run in an IoT device. That's another area I want to start putting gas on, R&D into.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Advanced-research ambitions; early (April 2022) statement of the vision that tiny edge/home devices could sell compute on Akash.
