Fixed cost here means that the training costs stay the same no matter how many customers you have - unlike serving costs which have to increase to serve more people.


Yet somewhere above you said:

>Training costs are fixed at whatever billions of dollars per year.

Which I think is the part people disagree with.


I used the word "fixed" there to indicate that the cost of training is unaffected by how many users you have, unlike the cost of serving the model which increases as your usage increases.
