Well, I guess the question I have is, what exactly does he mean by the "cost to train"? As in, just the cost of the electricity used to train that one model? That seems really excessive.

Or is it the total overall cost of buying TPUs / GPUs, developing infrastructure, constructing data centers, putting together quality data sets, doing R&D, paying salaries, etc. as well as training the model itself? I could see that overall investment into AI scaling into the tens of billions over the next few years.
