Currently the most advanced, largest and most capable artificial intelligence model. Producing one costs hundreds of millions and requires guaranteed access to rare chips.

Precise definition

An AI model that was state-of-the-art at the time of its release, in terms of both its size and capabilities. Developing it is a major industrial undertaking: tens of thousands of GPUs, training campaigns lasting several months, computing costs running into the hundreds of millions, followed by continuous inference. Not all applications require this.
