Term of the Day: Model training cost
Model training cost is the cost of using compute to build or improve an AI model. It usually depends on the number and type of GPUs, training duration, data size, model size, power efficiency, and engineering choices. A large model can require thousands of GPUs running together for days, weeks, or longer.
