You forget how much mark-up cloud providers charge.

I trained StyleGAN 2 from scratch using 8x 3090s at home and it took 3 months. It's fine.

240TB is small fish, my homelab is a petabyte and I consider it small.

It would take you way longer to train something like GPT-3 with such a setup.

Just to build my intuition, how long do you think it would take you to train Stabl eDiffusion in your homelab if you dedicated it to that task ? 10 years ? 20 years ? What about GPT-3 ?
