An individual details their experience training GPT-style language models on a consumer-grade GTX 1050 GPU with limited VRAM. Initially aiming to train a coding model, they encountered dataset size limitations and shifted focus to a Turkish tax-oriented assistant. This pivot revealed issues with existing Turkish language models, prompting a new goal: to train a foundational Turkish GPT model locally. The author found that Wikipedia datasets offered a more manageable scale for this endeavor, though tokenizer training presented initial challenges. AI
IMPACT Demonstrates feasibility of local AI model training on constrained hardware, potentially lowering barriers for individual experimentation.
