Through rigorous data analysis and independent research, Epoch AI investigates various facets of AI development. This includes tracking the rapid decline in LLM inference prices, which have been halving every two months, and the uneven but significant improvements in model performance across different tasks. They also monitor the exponential growth in AI compute stock, with total computing power doubling every 6.8 months, and the increasing compute power dedicated to training frontier language models, which has grown by 5x per year since 2020.
The institute's work extends to the efficiency of AI software development, noting that pre-training compute efficiency improves at approximately 3.0x per year. Epoch AI also maintains an open database of AI data centers, providing insights into compute capacity, power usage, and construction timelines. They analyze hardware advancements, such as the steady improvement in FLOPs per dollar, which has increased by about 37% annually.
Epoch AI's research is trusted by leading publications and institutions, including OpenAI, DeepMind, and various governments. They offer data-driven insights that are essential for understanding the fast-moving AI landscape. Their findings empower policymakers to make fact-informed decisions and help researchers and industry professionals navigate the complexities of AI development and deployment.
Beyond their public research, Epoch AI also offers custom research and advisory services for organizations seeking deeper insights into AI trends and their implications. They aim to foster a more informed and responsible approach to AI development and governance, ensuring that the benefits of AI are maximized for society.
