## Quote — verbatim

> Akash will have home nodes... After my testimony at Congress, I talked about leveraging home networks as part of a training run... we're calling it the home node. I have home node one at my house that's going to be online by the end of the month... Right now I have 60 panels that are part of a training run... hopefully in the next coming versions we'll be able to reduce the energy footprint to a point I can have one single panel or two panels power a training run.

Concrete rollout of his local-compute thesis: consumer homes with rooftop solar and GPUs (he mentions owning a 4090 at home, with negative marginal energy cost) joining distributed training runs. Quote spans into the [00:16:03] block.
