This is not exactly right, they said they spent $6M on training V3, there aren't numbers out there related to the training of R1, I can feel it will be cheaper than o1, but it's hard to tell how much cheaper. I can guess that overall deepseek spent way less than openai to release the model, because I have the feeling that the R&D part was cheaper too, but we don't have the numbers yet. Anyway, we can assume that deepseek and Alibaba will try to get the most out of their current GPUs however.
