Before you start
AI Toolkit training can require 24 GB or more of VRAM. Only use templates exposed as compatible for the selected GPU and provider; do not treat an available Docker image as a certified purchase option.
Steps
- Check the model, training method, dataset permissions, and minimum GPU memory.
- Choose a compatible offering with enough VRAM and disk for base weights, datasets, checkpoints, and temporary files.
- Keep datasets and outputs on the persistent workspace and save a reproducible configuration.
- Start with a short validation run using the image’s documented training command.
- Monitor memory and checkpoints. Export checkpoints before stopping or destroying the rental.
Check the result
A validation run completes on supported hardware before you commit to a long training job.
Troubleshooting
A 12 GB GPU cannot certify workflows that require 24 GB. If no compatible template is offered, contact support about availability rather than bypassing the compatibility check.
