News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I'd be kind of shocked if a model that came out six months ago is the same size and cost to run as one that just came out today.

Same size? Maybe by a bit. Cost? Absolutely. Newer flagship models are often slightly larger each generation, but not even 2x. But more efficient architectures are coming out all the time, and it'd be a waste to retrain an old model. So it washes out.
