🔴 50 Petabytes of Logs to Be Scrubbed: OpenAI Searches for Signs of AI Leaks

The cost of AI misbehavior is now measured not only by the consequences, but also by the cost of investigation. OpenAI revealed that the review of its past activity covers approximately 50 petabytes of archived data and costs more than $500,000 per day. The company has already allocated enormous computing resources and plans to increase them as the investigation progresses.

The scale of the dataset explains the unusual expense. The study involved approximately 7,000 NVIDIA GB200 and GB300 accelerators, and the logs were examined month after month in reverse order. According to OpenAI, if the entire volume were imagined as a standard English text, it would take a person approximately 66 million years of continuous reading at a speed of 240 words per minute.
