“In 2026, GPT 6 Astra took nearly an octillion calculations to train--over 50 million times as many calculations as GPT 1 did. Even calling this figure astronomical understates its size: An octillion is a thousand times the number of starts in the known universe...Researchers predict that by 2030, training the largest A.I. models may use electricity at a rate similar to New York City today. Energy experts project that by then, data centers may use around 12 percent of America’s electricity." - NYT
