Building a frontier model requires roughly 100 or more researchers and engineers, potentially a couple hundred.

“order of a hundred plus so you know a couple hundred researchers and engineers to build one of these things like a true rocket ship project and we're now at around 300 people and you know assembled all the teams on pre-training mid-training reinforcement learning scaled up our you know trained our first models end-to-end and just you know released a model called beam which is reflections first open model”
