Researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington have developed a model that performs comparably to OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek R1 models in math and coding — for less than $50 of cloud compute credits.

AI researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington were able to train an AI "reasoning" model for under $50 in cloud compute credits, according

A team of researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington have developed an AI reasoning model, s1, for less than $50. This is a massive achievement, given the notion that significant financial resources are essential for developing AI reasoning models.
