I wouldn't do the training locally either. Those GPUs aren't optimized for that you use a cloud server gpu, you pay for the VM, deploy it and they charge you per hour when its running. Train it on the cloud then basically you extract the base model directory + weights to your local system. Depends how big and complex the system is whether your local computer can run it. I don't know as much about that part I have never ran anything directly on a local machine. I can tell you how to set up cloud servers, how set up a cli runner on it that plugs in to hugging face transformers etc, but I don't know exactly how to import it locally it would take actual experimentation for me to figure it out (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837098&forum_id=2#49686010) |

Do you think the guy who is working on the next Coke product or designing the next iPhone is chatting with Claude or using MPCs? Now imagine an enterprise org with millions of people's SSN/DOB and ACH info |
