- visarga 4y agoIn order to run Codex you need 4-8 large GPUs connected in the same box or cabinet. Such computers cost about $100k to buy. Then they use about 5..10kwh to run, that adds up to 50MW/year. The Codex model needs to be very low latency, means more expensive. This is just for one single replica of the model, you need many to serve all the requests. Not to mention the cost of development - for that they needed thousands of GPUs or TPUs and a large team of top AI talent which is very very expensive to hire. Regarding the open source copyrights - wasn't that code released to be "open"? This is actually a radical way to open the code, make it more useful for everyone. Open source devs can also use it to create projects. I think $10 per month for this whole process is justified. It's not like you could run it at home.
