Is there any point in using a colab TPU for inference?

I have a colab pro+ subscription and like many, I'm finding that the GPU allowance is rather small compared to the price. While I wait for GPU access I was wondering if the TPU VM would be a substitute. It's running now and seems slower. I have not adjusted my code. Is there any point in this? To be honest, I'm not quite clear on the difference between a TPU and a GPU. I ran lscpu in the console and …

Getting Input Dimension from Tensorflow

I have this code: def transform(feature,target): return feature,target def frame_tensor(feature,target,batch_size=2024,shuffle=True): df = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((feature,target)) df = df.map(transform) if shuffle: df = df.shuffle(1024) df = df.batch(batch_size).cache().prefetch(tf.data.experimental.AUTOTUNE) gc.collect() return df Now, let's say I write: dt = frame_tensor() I want to build my embedding model and train my dataset. In the embedding model, I will need the input dimension. When training the dataset, I will need both the train and validation dataset. My questions are: (1) How should I get the input dimension …

How to fine-tune GPT-J with small dataset

Firstly, thank you so much for looking at this post. I could really use some help. I have followed this guide as closely as possible: https://github.com/kingoflolz/mesh-transformer-jax I'm trying to fine-tune GPT-J with a small dataset of ~500 lines: You are important to me. <|endoftext|> I love spending time with you. <|endoftext|> You make me smile. <|endoftext|> feel so lucky to be your friend. <|endoftext|> You can always talk to me, even if it’s about something that makes you nervous or …

What are the downsides of using TPUs instead of GPUs when performing neural network training or inference?

What are the downsides of using TPUs instead of GPUs when performing neural network training or inference? From what I read on https://www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/machinelearningtimes/should-you-choose-a-gpu-or-a-tpu-to-train-your-machine-learning-models/10460/ there are only upsides:
