Mustafa Suleyman's 'x% of FLOPS' boast mocked as Microsoft sits on ~12GW of compute

teortaxesTex resurfaces Inflection-2.5's old claim of nearing GPT-4 with only 40% of the training compute, mocking Mustafa Suleyman for repeating 'only x% of FLOPS' talking points — after running Inflection into the ground and moving to Microsoft, which commands roughly 12GW of compute, while MAI-Base-2 isn't even post-trained yet. The author says he'll withhold celebrations until more evidence emerges.
