Even $10k is enough for a hobbyist group or crowd funding.
- ipsum2 4y agoStable diffusion is on the order of millions of dollars.
- tehsauce 4y agoIt was about $200k in compute.
- moonshotideas 4y agoIs there a breakdown of the costs available to view?

- godmode2019 4y agoBut they still have those A100s? I think you have to compare it to how much ETH you could have mined as the opportunity cost of training a model vs other uses of a GPU
- l33tman 4y agoI think it was donated by AWS or something. This is not a scenario where it makes sense to buy and maintain your own server park of GPUs, when there is a race to the bottom already with cloud-based GPU rentals.
- homarp 4y agoAlso compare the impact of releasing Stable Diffusion vs 'yet another coin'/web3 announcement.

- Ajedi32 4y agoCrowd funding models seems especially interesting, since in theory you could fully automate the process. Submit the dataset and code you want to train with, then once it's funded the service automatically runs the training and releases the resulting model to backers.
- macrolime 4y agoSuch a platform should include a cloud to run the model, where backers would share the revenue earned from people using the model through an API.
