Estimate Complexity

Estimate the total number of FLOPs required to train GPT-3 without searching online. Explain your reasoning step by step.

GPT OSS 20B637 words
Below is a step‑by‑step, “hand‑calculation” of how many floating‑point operations (FLOPs) GPT‑3 had to do to learn from its training data. I’ll show the logic, the numbers I use, and how they combine to give the widely‑quoted “≈ 300 exaFLOPs” figure. (All the math can be done in a spreadsheet or a simple calculator.)

The 1920 Transistor: A Speculative History Through 1980 A Necessary Caveat Before diving in: quantum mechanics didn't exist in 1920. The "holes," band theory, and doping concepts that made the actual transistor possible weren't formulated until 1928-1931 (Bloch, Wilson, Heisenberg).
