I would be a little sceptical about that figure. 3 million dollars per second is around the world GDP.

I get it, AI training is expensive, but I don't believe it's that expensive




Thank you for that perspective. I always appreciate it when people put numbers like these in context.

Also 1 million per second is 60 million per minute is 3.6 billion per hour is 86.4 billion per day. It's about one whole value of FAANG per month...


Sam Altman has said in a few interviews that it was around $100 million for GPT-3, and higher for GPT-4.

But yes, this is a one-time cost, and far lower than the "millions of dollars per second" in GP comment.
