Classes par puissance de calcul consommee pendant l’entrainement, en FLOP.
Grok 4 leads with 5 x 10^26 FLOP, ahead of GPT-4.5 (3.8 x 10^26 FLOP) and Grok 3 (3.5 x 10^26 FLOP).
The gap between first and tenth place is a factor of 14.9 — compute at the frontier is spread across orders of magnitude, not percentage points.
Training compute is the single best available proxy for how much was invested in a model, and it is almost never published. These are reconstructed estimates: from hardware counts multiplied by training time and utilization, or from scaling relationships against known runs.
