About this Dataset

The Rising Costs Of Training Frontier AI Models

This dataset provides a comprehensive analysis of the costs associated with training frontier AI models, with a focus on estimating the magnitude and growth of these expenses. It includes detailed cost components for various AI models, considering hardware, energy, cloud rental, and staff expenses. The dataset is based on a detailed cost model developed to fill the gap in public data on AI training costs. The data covers the period from 2016 to the projected costs for 2027.
