I have done an extensive multi-GPU FLUX Full Fine Tuning / DreamBooth training experimentation on RunPod by using 2x A100–80 GB GPUs (PCIe) since this was commonly asked of me.
Image 1 Image 1 shows that only first part of installation of Kohya GUI took 30 minutes on a such powerful machine on a very expensive Secure Cloud pod — 3.28 USD per hour There was also part 2, so just installation took super time On Massed Compute, it would take like 2–3 minutes This is why I suggest you to use Massed Compute over RunPod, RunPod machines have terrible hard disk speeds and they are like lottery to get good ones

ChatGPT does better at math if you prompt it to think like Captain Picard from Star Trek. Scientifically proven fact lol. This got me to thinking, LLM models probably 'think' about the world in weird ways. Far different ways than we would. This got me down a rabbit hole of thinking about different concepts but for LLM models. Somewhere along the way, Python Chemistry was born. To an LLM model, there is a strong connection between Python and Chemistry. To an LLM model, it is easier to understand exactly how Python works, if you frame it in terms of chemistry.
