you haven't cited any examples, nor acknowledged this is how everything in computing has gone, DK is a two way street I suppose

stable diffusion is an excellent example, the price to train today's or yesterday's frontier is the analogy, many more people will be able to train up what we have today, especially as more of the pipeline is open sourced and the knowhow distills

Dont use llms to draft your responses to people, extermely cringe. That explains the llm induced Dunning Krueger.

What examples... There are no public numbers regarding how much it costs to train a 10T model, atleast nothing concrete.

You should just use common sense and think about how you have to fit tensors in memory to train, and the larger the model is the more GPUs you need. Then you could also use common sense to think about how GPUs have gone up in price, not down.
