  1. Step one: acquisition. You definitely can’t train a model on a GPU without first getting your hands on at least one of the GPUs. Fortunately, there are a few free options for you. One of my projects at Amazon was actually writing the original doc for this: SageMaker Studio Lab! Studio Lab is one way to run a free Jupyter Notebook server in the cloud.
