It is, of course, much more complicated than that. But what he particularly fails to mention is that OpenAl devoted 88 hours and 130 billion tokens to the task. All told, the company spent somewhere between $10 million and $40 million to solve Navier-Stokes in 88 hours.
This seems pretty relevant. It leads me to the following four observations:](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gltv5penrqtznhybxf4agrrt/bafkreihwqsp3fsgwk4qnqf3b2pwcjl573ooom2xabxfiah7dfaxax6fnq4)
