Folks are skeptical of how low that is, however.https://www.techspot.com/news/109542-rare-disclosure-deepsee...Olmo 3 claims that if they paid market rates for their training, it would have cost $2.75m. It was trained by a non-profit and probably had some of the compute donated, hence why they have to estimate.https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.13961So, probably somewhere between hundreds of thousands and tens of millions. flowbarai 8 days ago [dead]
