The passage around this formula

Write Ctrain(t)C_{\text{train}}(t) for the cost of the largest training run in year t . Epoch’s estimate is well approximated by simple exponential growth, Ctrain(t)≈C0 g t−t0C_{\text{train}}(t) \approx C_0\, g^{\,t-t_0}. with g between roughly two-point-four and three-point-five depending on method and window [ 5 , 6 ] . The form matters more than the…
