## Quote — verbatim

> There's a case to be made that compute will become a necessity in terms of ownership, so people will have compute — own compute... this pattern is not going to be permanent. I think we're going to go back to the older pattern where we have more power at the edge.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering what success looks like for Akash in 5-10 years; argues today's thin-client/cloud-server split will invert as AI makes owned compute a necessity.
