## Quote — verbatim

> It's been quite a long \[time\] since a new project like Akash has been used in a Chinese market, so we're very excited... considering China is also a gigantic market for machine learning and they've been leading quite a bit in that space, Akash would be a great addition to their capacity in general.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

After the Chinese community launch AMA drew 5,000+ attendees; an early (2020) signal that Greg saw ML workloads as a core demand driver for Akash.
