## Quote — verbatim

> It was not a miner, it was a GPU — a very incredible machine with GPUs to train AI... we thought the way to achieve this is to actually make a device. Unfortunately COVID hit and we were unable to do anything hardware... so we essentially scrapped the project.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

History of the 2019 "Supermini" consumer GPU device intended to push GPU homogeneity for AI; the pivot was to software and GPU enablement on the network instead.
