You need GPUs to train models. Right now that's just the way it is; you can enjoy inference on weaker hardware, but training is plainly unforgiving. Thankfully

You need GPUs to train models. Right now that's just the way it is; you can enjoy inference on weaker hardware, but training is plainly unforgiving. Thankfully, you can get pretty good results finetuning on a much smaller and cheaper GPU like the 3060ti. Going from GPU-poor to GPU-rich is easier than you might think.
