One should be suspicious of ulterior motives when the CEO of an AI company makes a claim like this.

On one hand, LLMs do require significant amounts of compute to train. But the other hand, if you amortize training costs across all user sessions, is it really that big a deal? And that’s not even factoring in Moore’s law and incremental improvements to model training efficiency.

The inference cost is also huge in energy terms, not just the training. Remember that Altman's company builds gigantic models.
