@simon@fedi.simonwillison.net I'm wondering, do those numbers take into account the training power usage and all the failing attempts to produce a viable model? Genuinely asking

@Xzan@androiddev.social the training cost estimates are covered here https://andymasley.substack.com/p/a-cheat-sheet-for-conversations-about#§training-an-ai-model-uses-too-much-energy (estimated 10% increase in cost-per prompt after amortization) I've not seen anyone ever account for the cost of failed runs, which is frustrating
