>>21979339>yeah the Chinese claim they trained R1 using only a fraction of the GPUs and $5 million, they also released their method and open sourced it so if we see people start to replicate their results then we will know they aren't lying.Honestly I hardly believe in these numbers, it's chyna after all, but as you said, the open sauce nature will make it so we'll see if it can be replicated. But even if they lied about how much was needed to make it, we already know it takes less computational power to get an answer than currently available solutions, so just on this basis alone it's already quite big. Random people are already able to use it quite easily on their hardware, you need buffed up machines, but nowhere near what was needed before, which was impossible as an individual and only possible through a company. And also, as already said, open source, which won't help the current business plans of the known actors. Which might just be the biggest short-term blow, cutting grass under the feet without warning.
