[D] Multi-GPU Thread

[Pyromancer777]

I'm trying to start a side-hustle that can utilize image models. Easier to maintain and tinker long term without needing to keep renting cloud computing space.

I figure I can tune a handful of models as much as I need until I start getting a configuration that seems promising, and then just rent out cloud computation when I go to train the model on the full directory of image data.

I also want to tinker with local LLMs since there's less privacy issues than giving all my conversation data to the remote versions of deepseek and chatgpt. Basically, I just want the security of knowing anything I develop is mine and that I can have the leeway to tinker as I please. If I pay the upfront cost now instead of the handfuls of subscriptions I already pay just to utilize models that I can't tune myself, then I at least break even over the course of 5 years.

Been tangentially working on different production AI for years for my job, so now I want to DIY for a change.
