      Outside of the costs of hardware, its just power. Running these sorts of computations is getting more efficient, but the sheer amount of computation means that its gonna take a lot of electricity to run.

      GPU cycles probably, but yeah. That makes up the bulk of the cost. The price of data is assuredly increasing as well, but that’s slightly beside the issue.
