I strongly recommend using colab or a crappy gpu for experimentation and just paying for compute when you want to run jobs that need it. Most tinkering doesn't need any special gpu, so whatever you buy is going to mostly sit idle. Paying for cloud GPUs obviously costs more per hour, but you then only pay for what you need and can scale however you want
- ImageXav 4y agoThe problem with Colab is that I tend to run into two issues: 1. Disconnect during training 2. Not enough storage I tends to work on somewhat mid/large models and TB+ datasets so I run into these issues frequently enough that it's become a hurdle I want to avoid going forward. I suspect this might make online compute expensive too though I've not looked at pricing plans. Where would you recommend buying personal cloud compute?
