Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] The cost of training AI on ImageNet has decreased from over $1000 to just under $5 in just 4 years by giteam

Yeah ok it's 75% from 2019 to 2021 but compared to the absolute difference between 2017 and 2018 it's nothing.

How can you say making something 75% cheaper in 2 years is nothing lmfao? What the fuck are you on. Of course once you get to a certain point the absolute numbers are going to look small but that's still huge improvements.

If something cost a billion $ and you brought the price down to a million $, I’m pretty sure you’d think dropping it from a million to 250k is pretty great too.
