Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet reportedly cost “a few tens of millions of dollars” to train, similar to Claude 3.5 and cheaper than GPT-4, which cost over $100M
“Assuming Claude 3.7 Sonnet indeed cost just ‘a few tens of millions of dollars’ to train, not factoring in related expenses, it's a sign of how relatively cheap it's becoming to release state-of-the-art models.” — https://techcrunch.com/... X: Ethan Mollick / @emollick : After publishing the post, I was contacted by Anthropic who told me that Sonnet 3.7 would not be considered a 10^26 FLOP model and cost a few tens of millions of dollars, though future models will be much bigger. I updated the post to reflect this, though it doesn't change much. Piotr Cieluchowski / @thisguyoftheai : So, it turns out training the latest AI wonder from Anthropic was a budget affair—just a “few tens of millions” and a sprinkle of computing power. Who knew revolutionary tech could be so affordable? Dive into the genius of Claude 3.7 Sonnet here: https://techcrunch.com/... Peter Wildeford / @peterwildeford : Pretty interesting revelations here: - Claude 3.7 is much smaller model size than Grok yet better? - Trained for “few tens of millions of dollars” (single model training run size, this would be apples-to-apples comparison with DeepSeek's $6M) - Future models will be much bigger Tim Crawford / @tcrawford : Lowering the cost will speed up innovation and potentially open the field to new entrants. Anthropic's latest flagship AI might not have been incredibly costly to train. https://techcrunch.com/... #CIO #AI
