Startup trains AI models with gaming GPU setup under $100K

The heart of a good AI system is a well-trained model. This requires a great deal of resources and power which can end up costly for investors and everyone else involved. One startup is shaking things up a bit by training its model using more affordable hardware. Fastino is reportedly using less than $100,000 (USD) worth of gaming graphics cards to handle its training needs. This stands out against more commercial operations likeElon Musk’s giant xAI,which has seriously intense power requirements....
