    The energy cost of inference is overstated. Small models, or “sparse” models like Deepseek are not that expensive to run. Training is a one-time cost that still pales in comparison to industrial processes.

    Basically, only Altman wants it to be cost prohibitive so he can have a monopoly. Also, he’s full of shit.
