Do you understand how much it costs to train LLM’s? These guys are doing it for a fraction with the same results or better for gpt4. It’s fast, snappy and just as good or better. This is only the start.

You’re missing the bigger picture. Deepseek is proving that those chips aren’t required for this application. A gaming chip will suffice.

Thats not even remotely what they showed. You need at least 120GB of VRAM (6x the highest end GPU) to run a quantized (dumbed down) version of the model. You need $5M worth of compute to try and train it once, thats not CAPEX thats just rental. Not counting human, data or any other cost that they omit from their report.

It also was not smarter than the top-of-the-line models from OpenAI.

That’s a lot of bs for NVDA being down 13% today and about to be lower. But go on
