NoteThe source directly confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) Total GPU hours: 2.788M H800 hours (source states '2.788M' in abstract and Table 1 shows 2788K); (2) Training cost: $5.576M (source states this in abstract and Table 1, which rounds to approximately $5.58M as claimed); (3) Duration: ~2 months (source states 'less than two months' for pre-training stage); (4) GPU count: 2048 H800 GPUs (source explicitly states this); (5) Pre-training tokens: 14.8T (confirmed in abstract and text). Minor rounding difference ($5.576M vs $5.58M) is within acceptable tolerance and represents the same value in different precision levels.
