Your question is Controlling Training Infrastructure Costs. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
How do you manage the infrastructure costs associated with large-scale model training?
Discuss how you would estimate costs, select and schedule compute, optimize distributed training, decide between cloud and owned infrastructure, and control storage and data-transfer spend. Explain the metrics, safeguards, and operational tradeoffs you would use to reduce cost without unacceptable impact on training time, model quality, or reliability.
