Quick Highlights

• The trend line suggests that costs are increasing from 2018, but I believe that there has been an AI revolution since 2020/2021 and thus the trend should be calulated on that line
• This data is from Epoch AI, an AI research firm, and these figures are estimates as the true cost of training models are often hidden
• I believe that AI spending will increase in the coming years but AI spending per datapoint will decrease in the coming years, possibly due to synthetic data
