It’s incredible (and a bit difficult) to comprehend the scale an investment of this size will have on Australia’s economy, companies and our public sector. To try and understand this kind of scale I asked #copilot to rationalise this in a different economic metric, tokens: Annual token production capacity (steady state): 100k tokens/sec × 300,000 GPUs = 30 billion tokens/sec ≈ 9.5 × 10^17 tokens/year ≈ ~1 quintillion tokens/year It’s an enormous number and a very different way of thinking about an investment at this scale! Imagine the impact that this amount of compute capacity can have on healthcare, justice and policing and the way in which the public sector can serve citizens.
