> 2048 Nvidia B300 GPU

With average price of $6/hour that is $12,288/hour for whole cluster.

Times 33 days times 24 hours it comes out to be $9.7MM , assuming no discounts.

That leaves $10.3MM/6 months for salaries, which is 103 employees at $200k/year or 51 employee at $400k/year.



It would likely be something like $4.5/hour for this big cluster.

It mentions it took 4 models to get there, so would that mean there were additional runs (and other steps/overheads) which were part of the cost separate from just the salaries in that time?
