Yeah sure. The training was about ~250 dollars, which is quite low by today’s standards. And I spent a bit more on ablations and research

I was on similar path and saw my bills going over 1000 dollars as interests to do research and ablations grew. Then I decided to get one Blackwell Pro 6000 and trying things with that :) If you have suggestions on how to manage metrics let us know. Currenty trying langfuse since its one click install on coolify

Is that something that could be done on a local setup? Eg, 2x RTX3090?
