    One of those rare lucid moments by the stock market? Is this the market correction that everyone knew was coming, or is some famous techbro going to technobabble some more about AI overlords and they return to their fantasy values?

      It’s quite lucid. The new thing uses a fraction of compute compared to the old thing for the same results, so Nvidia cards for example are going to be in way less demand. That being said Nvidia stock was way too high surfing on the AI hype for the last like 2 years, and despite it plunging it’s not even back to normal.

        If AI is cheaper, then we may use even more of it, and that would soak up at least some of the slack, though I have no idea how much.

            And the data is not available. Knowing the weights of a model doesn’t really tell us much about its training costs.
