Workload
AI training and fine-tuning
GPU machines for training models and fine-tuning open ones.
What it is
Training builds a model's weights from data. Fine-tuning starts from an open model and adjusts it on your own examples, often with a small adapter such as LoRA.
Jobs run for hours or days on one or more GPUs. What matters is GPU memory, the link between GPUs and the price per GPU hour. Interruptible capacity costs less if the job saves checkpoints and can resume.
What we offer today
Nothing yet. Silicon Network does not run training or fine-tuning jobs.
If you train a LoRA adapter elsewhere, you can register it and serve it through the inference API.
Sources
The kinds of source that can run this workload, now or later. No provider is named until it is connected.
- Planned
Silicon Network operators
Independent machines that operators add to the network, today Macs running the Silicon Network engine
- Planned
Decentralized networks
Open networks of independent machines
- Planned
GPU clouds and marketplaces
Companies that rent out GPU machines
- Planned
Public clouds
The large general-purpose clouds
On operators' own Linux GPU machines, training jobs would run through the node agent, in containers with no network unless the operator allows it. The agent is built and switched off.
