Below is one way to arrive at a back-of-the-envelope estimate for the total floating-point operations (FLOPs) needed to train GPT-3 (the 175B-parameter model). Note that different sources use slightly different assumptions, so you may see figures that differ by factors of 2–3; however, the overall scale (10^23 FLOPs) remains consistent.

1. Key Quantities

Number of parameters (Nₚ): 175 billion (1.75 × 10^11)
Number of training tokens (Nₜ): ~300 billion (3.0 × 10^11)
Rule-of-thumb for FLOPs per parameter per token: A common rough estimate is 6 FLOPs per parameter per token for a full forward-and-backward pass with Adam-style updates.

Why 6?

Forward pass often taken as ~2 × Nₚ FLOPs.
Backward pass can be roughly twice the cost of the forward pass (~4 × Nₚ).
Together → 2 + 4 = 6 × Nₚ FLOPs per token.

(Exact counts differ depending on the details of the architecture, hardware efficiency, and whether you count a multiply-add as one or two FLOPs, but 6 is a convenient ballpark multiplier.)

2. Core Calculation

Using the 6 FLOPs rule of thumb:

[ ext{Total FLOPs} ;approx; 6 ; imes; N_p ; imes; N_t. ]

Plug in the numbers:

(N_p = 1.75 imes 10^{11}) (175B parameters).
(N_t = 3.0 imes 10^{11}) (300B tokens).
Multiplier = 6.

So,

[ ext{Total FLOPs} ;=; 6 ; imes; (1.75 imes 10^{11}) ; imes; (3.0 imes 10^{11}). ]

First, multiply the “nice” numbers:

(6 imes 1.75 = 10.5)
(10.5 imes 3.0 = 31.5)

So the coefficient is 31.5. Now include the powers of ten:

(31.5 imes 10^{11} imes 10^{11} = 31.5 imes 10^{22} = 3.15 imes 10^{23}.)

Hence,

[ ext{Total FLOPs} ;approx; 3.15 imes 10^{23}. ]

3. Result and Interpretation

Therefore, a rough estimate for the total training cost of GPT-3 (175B) is on the order of
[ mathbf{3 imes 10^{23}} ext{ FLOPs.} ]

Depending on exact architectural details, optimizer choices, hardware efficiency, and definitions of FLOPs vs. MACs (multiply-accumulate operations), public estimates generally range from around (2 imes 10^{23}) to (4 imes 10^{23}). But the important takeaway is that it is a few times (10^{23}) FLOPs.

4. Summary

Identify parameters and tokens: 175B parameters, 300B tokens.
Adopt the “6 FLOPs per parameter per token” rule for forward + backward + update.
Multiply: (6 imes 1.75 imes 10^{11} imes 3.0 imes 10^{11} approx 3.15 imes 10^{23}).

This simple calculation gives a ballpark figure without delving into the fine details of the GPT-3 architecture or specifics of training hardware.

Let's analyze the information:

Sally has 3 brothers.
Each brother has 2 sisters.

Since Sally is a girl and one of the sisters, for each brother to have 2 sisters, it means there must be a total of 2 sisters in the family (including Sally).

Therefore:

Total number of sisters = 2
Sally is one of them
So, Sally has 1 sister

Answer: Sally has 1 sister.

Openai · Dec 2024text

First, note that each of Sally’s three brothers has exactly two sisters. One of those sisters is clearly Sally. Since each brother’s two sisters must be the same two girls for all of them, there must be exactly one other sister besides Sally.

Therefore, Sally has 1 sister.

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9.

When comparing decimal numbers, you compare digit by digit from left to right:

The integer part: both are 9.
The tenths place: 9.11 has 1 in the tenths place, while 9.9 has 9 in the tenths place.

Since 1 is less than 9, 9.11 is less than 9.9.

No, 9.11 is not greater than 9.9. If you think of 9.9 as 9.90, you can compare digit by digit:

9.11 is 9 + 0.11
9.9 (or 9.90) is 9 + 0.90

Since 0.11 is less than 0.90, 9.11 is less than 9.9.
