Can You Really Fine-Tune an AI Model for Just $50? Researchers Say Yes.

Just weeks after DeepSeek claimed to have trained its R1 AI model for a mere $6 million—far less than its U.S. competitors—a team of researchers from Stanford and the University of Washington have made an even bolder claim. They say they’ve fine-tuned an existing model for just $50—and in only 26 minutes. This breakthrough, if […]
