No Small Fee: Training Advanced AI Models Like GPT-4, Gemini Could Cost Up To Rs 73.6 Lakh Crore By 2030

Amortised hardware and energy costs for training frontier models have increased at a rate of 2.4 times per year since 2016, with a 95 per cent confidence interval ranging from 2.0 to 3.1 times. 

The potential development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) could further complicate the landscape.

The expenses associated with training advanced AI models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's Gemini, have surged significantly in recent years. Despite the growing costs, companies like OpenAI and Google remain tight-lipped about the exact figures, leaving much of the financial burden to speculation. However, it's evident that as these frontier models become more sophisticated, the cost of training them escalates proportionately. As per a recent study, the cost of training frontier AI models
