How big of an AI model?
By my figuring, a car uses about a thousand gigajoules, or $20,000 worth of gasoline, over its lifetime, American gas prices. Depending on where you buy your electricity, that comes out to 10 to 20 grand's worth of power (gasoline is relatively expensive per joule). So this figure implies that training an AI model costs 100 grand in electricity. Is that right?
Because I thought "training an AI model" was more of a "1 week on a single GPU" kind of thing.
