Training a 1.5B parameter model from scratch in 2021 required significant compute: Build A Large Language Model -from Scratch- Pdf -2021

A 2021 "from scratch" training run for a 125M model on 50B tokens might take 5–10 days on 8×V100 GPUs. import torch from torch

By the end of the PDF, you have a model that costs ~$5k in cloud compute to train for one week. How do you know it works? Training a 1
