Meta procured 500,000 additional GPUs, totaling a million and valued at $30 billion.&nbsp;LeCun emphasized computational limitations and GPU costs as hampering progress. Despite Meta’s massive GPU use, Sam Altman from OpenAI plans to spend $50 billion annually on AGI development, using 720,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs costing $21.6 billion.&nbsp; 
This investment surpasses the Apollo space program’s costs, highlighting escalating expenses in AI development. OpenAI and other tech giants are also investing heavily in GPUs, aiming to boost AI capabilities.&nbsp; 
Microsoft targets 1.8 million GPUs by year-end, while OpenAI plans for 10 million. NVIDIA continues GPU production, supporting AI advancements. LeCun stressed the need to scale learning algorithms across GPUs efficiently for cost reduction.&nbsp; 
As advancements continue, AI companies may lower costs while sustaining demand. The race for AI superiority drives significant investments, shaping the future of technology.
