The total amount of compute, in petaflop/s-days,[^footnote-petaflops] used to train selected results that are relatively well known, used a lot of compute for their time, and gave enough information to estimate the compute used. Three factors drive the advance of AI: algorithmic innovation, data (which can be either supervised data or interactive environments), and the amount of compute available
