You don’t need to do it often, but initial training requires huge ressources and someone has to do it, if you want to create new models from scratch. And for this you need your compute packed as close as possible.
Not sure what your point is here. The whole point of stuff like Petals is to facilitate a way to do this by harnessing a lot of computers around the world. It would be slower than doing it in a data center, but it’s not a show stopper if this is something that only needs to be done occasionally.
Sorry, I thought that we might be underestimating the factor of “slower”, but I couldn’t quickly find numbers to prove my point. I might be wrong after all. I wish you a good night. 😊
