The math on the input tokens is definitely wrong. It claims each instance (8 GPUs) can handle 1.44 million tokens/sec of input. Let's check that out.
1.44e6 tokens/sec * 37e9 bytes/token / 3.3e12 bytes/sec/GPU = ~16,000 GPUs
And that's assuming a more likely 1 byte per parameter.
So the article is only off by a factor of at least 1,000. I didn't check any of the rest of the math, but that probably has some impact on their conclusions...
