I'd guess more on the order of 10,000 GPUs.

They only used 175 GPUs in the match 5 months ago.

I was actually thinking primarily of distributed training time for the networks and playing time for the system, rather than the number of GPUs running this particular match. Also, I thought the number of GPUs in October was more on the order of 1,000? Happy to be told I'm mistaken though.

They used ~1000 CPUs and ~200 GPUs 5 months ago.
