- lhl 1y agoNo, let's add it. The cost for an inference provider to deploy a trained and weights available existing model is $0 (or whatever you want to add for the HF download of the weights). Open weight models simply exist now. Deal with it? If you would like to someone add that somehow as a line item, perhaps you should add the full embodied energy cost of Linux (please include the entire history of compute since it wouldn't exist without UNIX), or perhaps the full military industrial complex costs from the invention of the transistor? We could go further.
- timschmidt 1y agoI love it! Can't forget the accumulated carbon costs of all the experimentation it took to master fire, ceramics, and metals smelting.
