minus-squarepachristlinkfedilinkEnglish72•11 months agoThere’s no way I believe that Deepseek was made for the $5m figure I’ve seen floating around. But that doesn’t matter. If it cost $15m, $50m, $500m, or even more than that, it’s probably worth it to take a dump in Sam Altman’s morning coffee.
minus-square@Mojave@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish39•11 months ago DeepSeek claimed the model training took 2,788 thousand H800 GPU hours, which, at a cost of $2/GPU hour, comes out to a mere $5.576 million. That seems impossibly low. DeepSeek is clear that these costs are only for the final training run, and exclude all other expenses
