Single GPU ML research questioned amid large-scale compute trends

Researchers are questioning whether significant machine learning and deep learning research can still be conducted using only single GPUs, given the trend towards large-scale compute resources at major labs. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by independent researchers and smaller labs in keeping pace with advancements. One example cited is InfiniteDiffusion, a project by Alexander Goslin that was developed on a single RTX 3090. AI

IMPACT Highlights the accessibility challenges for independent researchers in the rapidly advancing field of AI.
