> Although I wish they documented how much compute and data was used to get these results. I'm hearing astonishing numbers, in the tens of megawatts range for training these billion-parameter models. And I wish they showed us all the rejected images. If those images (like the snail harp) were the FIRST pass of the release candidate model.... wow... but how much curating did they do? EDIT: Units. Derp.

> tens of mega-joule range do you mean tera-joules? A hundred megajoules is about three bucks at 10 cents per kwh. I routinely do giga-joule level computations using just a rack of computers in my garage, they're no big deal.

  metawatts?

    Joules is a unit of total computation, watts is a unit of computation rate. :P Metawatt is a unit for rates of speculation, uninformed by multiplication, about AI energy usage.

      Oops, *mega, obviously! But I did mean watts.

        MWh is what you'd want.

        I was thinking power consumption. Probably a mis-correction anyway.

> in the tens of megawatts But for how long? 1 second, 1 hour, 1 month? The energy matters more than the power.
