If your laptop takes hours to train a model, how would you use a VM with GPU and JupyterLab to speed up the process and organize dependencies without breaking your environment?
When training deep learning models, computational resources play a significant role in determining the feasibility and speed of experimentation. Most consumer laptops are not equipped with powerful GPUs or sufficient memory to handle large datasets or complex neural network architectures efficiently; consequently, training times can extend to several hours or days. Utilizing cloud-based virtual machines
