We have different servers for each. But the split is usually 80%/20% for inference/training. As our product grows in usage the 80% number is steadily increasing

That isn't because we aren't training that often - we are almost always training many new models. It is just that inference is so computationally expensive!
- godelski 4y agoAre you training new models from scratch or just fine tuning LLMs? I'm from the CV side and we tend to train stuff from scratch because we're still highly focused on finding new architectures and how to scale. The NLP people I know tend to use LLMs and existing checkpoints so their experiments tend to be a lot cheaper. Not that anyone should think any aspect (training nor inference) is cheap.
