- boulos 10y agoIt really depends on what you're doing. If you are doing large transfers over PCIe back and forth, not really. But lots of things work just fine. The bigger challenge for large ML models is the memory you'd need to back it. But with GCE you can happily do a custom machine with up to 6.5 GB per vCPU, just so you can fit the output ;).
