They could always release figures for larger networks - they don't have to target Resnet50 (which is the MLPerf standard). I don't think anyone would hold it against them if they show massive improvements in something like GPT-2 training time (a network 37000x the size of Resnet)

GPT-2 uses attention, which is very memory hungry to train, so probably won't work well. But I agree with your overall point.
