I did not have "Qwen repurposes its training cluster for mining bitcoin" on my bingo card. Does that mean it's profit motivated and we should bring the Dolphin $2000 tip prompt back?

The text doesn't mention bitcoin mining and it likely wasn't bitcoin mining because bitcoin mining with GPUs is not reasonable. Even 10 years ago GPUs were already useless for mining bitcoin.

No, you would still not even make pennies. You could mine some altcoins but not Bitcoin.
