By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit's r/MachineLearning subreddit is seeking hardware recommendations for fine-tuning a satire model based on Qwen3.5-14B-Base. The user encountered memory issues while attempting a full fine-tune on a cloud computer with 4x12GB GPUs and 48GB of system RAM, underestimating the memory requirements for their dataset of approximately 18,000 long examples. They are looking for advice on suitable hardware to avoid similar problems in the future. AI
