It's a bit hilarious that there are attempts to convince people on a board for hackers and startup founders that state owned enterprises are great and amazing!!

I'd love to see the studies mentioning 10% efficiency gains if you have a chance. also, do these studies balance against cost of running the models? remember, that's why stability.ai has collapsed.
