“My guess is, like, training these costs, like, a couple million dollars, which is not that much, especially, you know, like, you know, they're probably backed by some sort of entity... So training these models will bring you a lot of attention and it's more attention than you would get releasing a subpar LLM because like LLM space has so much more competition.”

“The team at Stability left to start Black Forest Labs, which released Flux models. And that was the first model to, you know, breach the barrier of commercially usable, you know, enterprise-ready grade models”
Taskaya: Custom ASICs do not make sense given low Nvidia GEMM overhead
“What is the overhead of an NVIDIA GAM instruction, right? It's like 16%. So like you're essentially buying a, Matrix multiplication machine. So, like, it doesn't really make sense to specialize it that much.”

Taskaya: Training a state-of-the-art image model costs under $1M
“Like right now, like if you look, if you want to train a Sota image model, I don't think it's going to cost more than a million dollars. It's extremely cheap. It's like a matter of data engineering effort, cleaning. It's, I think it's a function of data set.”
