The author describes their own experience with QLoRA fine-tuning on Kaggle's free T4 GPU, where most effort went to environment management rather than model improvement. They argue training should be as simple as uploading a dataset, configuring hyperparameters, and hitting train. Their product Alpeye aims to deliver this by providing pre-provisioned GPUs, live loss curves, automatic checkpoint saving, and a dashboard for tracking past runs and their configurations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
