MagicAILabs claims new recipe matches DeepSeek V4 Pro pretraining with 50x less compute, ~$0.5M
AccBalanced · x · 2026-09-09
MagicAILabs says frontier pretraining isn't a big-lab-only game: lacking 100k chips, they bet on algorithmic efficiency. Their new recipe reportedly matches DeepSeek V4 Pro's pretraining using 50x less compute — roughly half the FLOPs used for GPT-3, or $0.5M on GB200. Unverified by third parties, but if true it would drastically lower the barrier to frontier-scale pretraining.
