Date: February 21st, 2026 10:20 PM Author: robot daddy no its more complicated than that. you don't do full training yourself at this point. like pre-training + training across billions of tokens from scratch. that's something frontier labs do it takes distributed training tons of gpu hours millions of dollars. you can train your own small models. but most of what peole do today is fine-tune big models. 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\u0026mark_id=5310734#49686010)

Or are there limitations? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837098&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310734#49686022)
