## Quote — verbatim

> You can run your own Stable Diffusion — I'm very bullish, because it's the first open source AI model. OpenAI and the Google stuff is closed source. That means anyone can run Stable Diffusion on any computer that has sufficient GPUs, or Akash.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Points to the emerging ecosystem of Stable Diffusion hosting/prompt services finding centralized cloud too expensive; ties open-source models to self-hosted compute.
