Yes it is much cheaper when you just train off ChatGPT and Claude responses.
zerotolerance•2h ago
Seems like a feature. This was always going to be the case. Just like how it was cheaper to train those models on billions of prior works than to have generated or paid to generate all those works in-house.

> Seems like a feature

If by "feature" you mean "pathway to model collapse" meaning "disappearing up one's own asshole" then yes. And the sooner the better.

> "One test for potential investors will be their willingness to support Sovereign Australia AI’s decision to earmark $10 million of its future funding to compensate copyright owners for the data used to train its model. This includes working with news services under a paid model and buying books and music where needed."

> “We don’t want the adversarial relationship of most other AI builders around the world who chose not to take that proactive approach to copyright.”

> "Sovereign Australia AI said it would not scrape the pages of publishers who have added “robot.txt” files to their web pages. This is a line of code that tells bots not to scrape the information, but it is frequently ignored. The company will add a meta tag to every piece of data it acquires, recording where it came from and how it was sourced."

> To build its model, Sovereign Australia AI says it has placed Australia’s largest-ever order for sovereign AI capacity: 256 of the latest Nvidia Blackwell B200 GPUs which will be hosted inside one of NextDC’s Melbourne data centres

So... almost the exact opposite. Please read the article before commenting next time.

256 of the latest Nvidia Blackwell B200 GPUs

Did they forget to add "k" to that number? OpenAI plans to have one million GPUs by the EOY.

They're starting out allocating $10MM AUD for copyright payments, when Anthropic has just paid $2.3BB AUD to settle their lawsuit. While I give them credit for realizing that $10MM is just the starting point, I don't understand how they can possibly build a competitive model while spending less than $100MM when others are spending 20x that amount just on copyright.
gpm•2h ago
Anthropic paid $3000USD per work because they pirated works and US copyright law comes with statutory damages completely unrelated to the amount it would have cost to acquire the same thing legally.

The same thing, legally, according to the judge in that lawsuit would have been a purchased (potentially used) copy of the book scanned - i.e. what Anthropic also did after pirating works. It'd be surprising if that would cost even $30USD/work, two orders of magnitude less.

$10AUD million doesn't seem sufficient for a competitive set (and as you say they aren't saying it is), but if you told me $50AUD million was enough to build a legal (according to Judge Alsup's interpretation of US law) repository of training data I would not be surprised.

apparent•1h ago
If they spend half of their budget on copyright, does that leave enough for hardware, energy, salary, etc.?
wtbdbrrr•1h ago
Now ... of course.

And do they mention anything about how much of the work is going to be outsourced and where to? Or are they gonna import workers to do the job and send them back home when their local AI can replace most of the easy and tedious stuff? Or are they gonna use local models to do all that right away?
