Q. How many programmers and engineers does it take to
build an LLM and fire it up?
Some here implicitly speak as if they are familiar with LLMs, and so I assumed that the answer could be
1, 2 or possibly a handful of people to do the deed. But it seems I am very wrong.
Nonetheless by the time one has 700+ employees, surely someone in charge would have noticed that the room was crowded.
And why not the same at 500, or 200 or even 50 or fewer?
Perhaps the lack of oxygen has something to do with it? Might I suggest opening a window or two?
Ops, Scaling up, Site Reliability, Research, Marketing, Front end Web, Training (needs Humans, means needs organisation) Legal etc. There is a lot going on. R&D in other words the next AI breakthrough. Pretty lean if you compare it to Google and realize it is not far off being as good and would be the world’s best search if Google did’t exist. How many people do Google employ!
