They aren't comparing the 500B investment to the cost of deepseek-R1 (allegedly 5 millions) they are comparing the cost of R1 to the one of o1 and extrapolating from that (we don't know exactly how much OpenAI spent to train it, but estimates put it around $100M, in which case deepseek would have been only 95% more cost-efficient, not 99%)
