I'm curious, how expensive is it to train these models? I wonder if it would be possible to crowdfund the training, especially if targeted at a group that is (at least stereotyped) as spendthrift as furries.
- PeterisP 4y agoAFAIK the costs have not been published, but assuming you'd have access to the data (which is tricky, and getting an different, equivalent dataset may involve lots of time/effort/legal issues/cleanup work), my estimate is that the compute for this would cost in the ballpark of $1m-$10m. But if you don't want a universal model but just a specific niche (e.g. furries) then you should be able to train a much smaller model on much less data and get something interesting much cheaper.
