I don't know how to answer this because these are arbitrary numbers.
The money is not spent. Deepseek published their methodology, incumbents can pivot and build on it. No one knows what the optimal path is, but we know it will cost more.
I can assure you that OpenAI won't continue to produce inferior models at 100x the cost.
- mrtksn 2y agoWhat concerns me is that someone came out of the blue with just as good result at orders of magnitude less cost. What happens if that money is being actually spent, then some people constantly catch up but don't reveal that they are doing it for cheap? You think that it's a competition but what actually happening is that you bleed out of your resources at some point you can't continue but they can. Like the star wars project that bankrupted the soviets.

- mattclarkdotnet 2y agoA timeline where the lesser Bush faced off against the Soviet Union would be interesting. But no, it was a Reagan thing.
- rightbyte 2y agoTy. I had this vague memory of some "Star Wars laser" failing to shoot down a rocket during Jr. I might be remembering it wrong. I can't find anything to support my notion either.
- cempaka 2y agoI think there was a brief revival in ballistic missile defense interest under the W presidency, but what people refer to as "Star Wars" was the Reagan-era initiative.
- tim333 2y agoAlso it didn't apparently actually bankrupt the soviet though it may have helped a little: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/8cnm73/did_reagans_star_wars_project_really_contribute/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/8cnm73/did_r...
