What is the ballpark cost of this hobby, if I may ask?
Do you train exclusively in the cloud?
- zxexz 4y agoReally depends. I’ve pretty much almost burned through all the cloud credits I’ve been able to find at this point. Probably spent 20 grand over a year in credits? Never more than a couple hundred of my own money. Still trying to find a better solution. I have some 2080 TIs that I use locally. I tend to prototype architectures locally then rent out some A100s for a few hours to see how it goes, continue training when I can spare the cash. I do a lot of CPU and sharded training too. I really wish there were better options for hobbyists to play around with this stuff.
