Fine-tune a 7B parameter LLM efficiently and affordably?
I need to run about 5 different fine-tuning methods across 4 datasets, each with 1000-1500 samples. The model I need to fine-tune is Mistral7B.I have a basic Google Colab subscription, but it doesn’t allow access to an A100 GPU, and the T4 GPU available lacks enough memory to fine-tune a 7B parameter model—it quickly runs out of memory. And even with optimizations like quantization and mixed precision, I’m still hitting memory limits.I’m looking for cost-effective platforms or services with sufficient GPU memory to handle these tasks efficiently. Any recommendations?

Hi,The cheapest platforms out there are Lambda Labs, Runpod and Vast.ai. They provide the cheapest GPUs on the market. I made atutorial videoin which I fine-tune Mistral-7B using a GPU provided by Runpod.Of course, you could also rent a VM with an attached GPU on AWS, Google Cloud and Azure.
