Oh, I quit recently.
Very surprisingly, I learned it was harder to get access to GPUs at big tech companies outside their dedicated research teams than it was for a scrappy hacker outside on side projects with lots of savings. So I quit to work on those projects. I miss not having a dedicated infra team but don’t miss having to beg for resources. I wanted to use google cloud since I use some of their other services for this, but could not figure out how to get them to increase quotas and take my money. I was willing to pay nearly double the hourly rate I am currently paying at coreweave to use only one cloud provider but they just wouldn’t sell me it
- vGPU 4y agoOut of curiosity, just how much resources are you able to access with google colab and can you use it for AI training? I’ve been becoming more interested in fintech and trying my hand at predictive/pattern recognition AI but the costs are incredibly prohibitive to getting started, both hardware and data.
