Open original source ↗Correct - as said on CNBC - no material price difference. Whether TCO where they all spent > $1 B or final training run where they all spent < $20 M - the real break thru is a truly open source model that moved ahead of US open source & got closer to anthropic, goog and OAI. 🚀
Quoted context
These are the quoted author’s words.
New report by leading semiconductor analyst Dylan Patel shows that DeepSeek spent over $1 billion on its compute cluster. The widely reported $6M number is highly misleading, as it excludes capex and R&D, and at best describes the cost of the final training run only.
