    openais compute costs r about as far as americans can go. they r literally not using som of their chips, cuz they dont got enough power-

    anyway, blablabla openai bad or whatever fediverse wants to hear… yeayea i agree, LMs bad, whatever- sure—

    The us has 38 trillion debt, us citizens gamble away over 100 billion a year, a movie costs over 100 million dollars to make. I feel like numbers are just so high that they are meaningless

    $13.5 billion loss in first half of 2025. Somehow also income of $4 billion - sounds fake. So their compute costs are probably around $34 billion per year?

      The largest cost is going to be building out data centers and buying the chips to fill them. OpenAI has essentially been telling investors they’re only losing money for now as they build out infrastructure, but when that’s done they’ll be making money hand over fist

      We have no idea what the compute costs actually are since OpenAI is a private company. It’s just a shift in the speculation that it’s higher than previously estimated

    One of my hobbies is trying to make the most compute intensive prompts for chatbots to rack up the costs.

    I’m helping too!
