The answer
175,000,000,000 parameters
Roughly 175B.
GPT-3 was published in 2020 with 175 billion parameters, more than 100 times its predecessor. Parameter counts stopped being the headline shortly after: newer models are often smaller but trained on far more data, and most labs no longer disclose the number at all.
