Say you want to burn about $500 as a curiosity project for 8 nodes for a day. Any suggestions for what job to run?

If you’re just burning money you might as well mine crypto.

As a random thought, this seems to be about the same order of magnitude compute as Karpathy's recent GPT-2 work:

You could take the final checkpoint from that page and run it for some additional steps and see if it improves? You could always publish the final checkpoint and training curves - someone might find it useful.

You could benchmark how fast you can count the number of words (and characters and lines) in all of project gutenberg with wc-gpu.
