## Quote — verbatim

> I'm a big believer in open source software. Why? Because with closed source you can go fast, but with open you can go far. Open systems building upon each other is how we can go fast... Akash is essentially another command, part of the Bittensor operating system.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Riffing on Unix's composable design as the model for interoperable decentralized networks. **Speaker:** attribution inferred from flow into Greg's clearly-marked Akash remarks; possibly begins mid-handoff from the Manifold speaker.
