bro who the fuck is google paying to do cloud compute for them? Google cloud??
I assume they've come up with some generic cost if someone was training each model using cloud compute.
Eeit: below comments confirm this, from the source.
god i love accounting, it's so much fun.
But this isn't accounting, this is just the way the study calculated stuff.
Lets make our model sound cooler by paying high rates to ourselves!
Man you and the other dude are trying way too hard to be outraged about something that doesn't exist here.
This isn't data that Google, etc claimed. The srudy is attempting to represent what they believe the financial coat to train these models would have been.
