Why do I need cloud training?
|
|
*****************************
|
|
Training on the cloud is a cost effective way to train your models faster by allowing you to access powerful GPU machines.
|
|
|
|
For example, if your model takes 10 days to train on a CPU machine, here's how cloud training can speed up your training time:

Start a cloud machine in < 1 minute
|
|
***********************************
|
|
Lightning has a native cloud solution with various products (lightning-grid) designed for researchers and ML practicioners in industry.
|
|
To start an interactive machine simply go to `Lightning Grid <https://platform.grid.ai>`_ to create a free account, then start a new Grid Session.
|
|
|
|
A Grid Session is an interactive machine with 1-16 GPUs per machine.
