## Quote — verbatim

> We announced home node... this program to attract more computer nodes that are in the home, that are 4090s and 5090s. So we're going to see a big \[rollout\], and we have an enterprise partner we're rolling out with... we have a huge rollout plan for home computers... When that happens we want to be the first, we want to be the platform to take advantage of distributed training.
