## Quote — verbatim

> If you don't need them to be local, you can now distribute your energy supply from anyone that can contribute the energy supply — it could be a home, it could be a data \[center\], it could be a garage for all I care. As long as it can participate in a training run, it can essentially contribute. That's a big innovation.

On Nous Research's DisTrO enabling heterogeneous GPUs (A100s, H100s, 4090s) to train over the internet instead of colocated homogeneous clusters — his core compute-goes-local argument.
