This has to be one of the quickest valuations past a billion. I wonder if they can even effectively make use of the funds in a reasonable enough timeline.

- hn_throwaway_99 2y ago> I wonder if they can even effectively make use of the funds in a reasonable enough timeline. I read that it cost Google ~$190 million to train Gemini, not even including staff salaries. So feels like a billion gives you about 3 "from scratch" comparable training runs.
- greenthrow 2y agoYour estimate seems way off given Google already had their own compute hardware and staff. And if this company is going straight for AGI there's no way $1 billion is enough.
- udev4096 2y agoGiven the dire need of GPUs, I don't suspect they would have any trouble finding the good use of the funds
- eigenvalue 2y agoThey’ve probably already ordered like $250mm of GPUs.
