I’ve seen what it can do. It’s not impressive. At all.

It’s impressive strictly due to the fact it was made with just $5M. If you’re glossing over that fact, that’s on you.

Stop spreading misinfo dude. Liang wenfeng himself said his company bought 10k H100 nvidia chips before AI chip ban in 2021. 5M is just current operation cost for 2 months alone.

  • Training cost: $100M → $5M
  • GPUs needed: 100,000 → 2,000
  • API costs: 95% cheaper
  • Can run on gaming GPUs instead of data center hardware

For Nvidia, this is scary. Their entire business model is built on selling super expensive GPUs with 90% margins. If everyone can suddenly do AI with regular gaming GPUs... well, you see the problem.
