The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Implemented two proprietary algorithms, heuristic search and Staged BlackBox search, by leveraging domain knowledge of Megatron Core's parallelization strategies. The company expects to reduce AI-related costs, including GPU acquisition costs and power consumption, by operating GPU assets more efficiently.
