Estimate GPU cost and wall-clock for a training or fine-tune run — from model size, training tokens, GPU type, and how many nodes you use.
Estimates the GPU cost of a single training or fine-tuning run, derived from model size (parameters), dataset size (tokens), and the number of training instances / accelerators used.
New to this calculator? Start with the ⚡ Playground — a few sliders, instant ballpark. Then switch to the 🧮 Calculator for your exact number.
Two ways to use this: visualize in the Playground, then get your number in the Calculator.
A one-time training run: params × tokens on a GPU cluster. GPU type / commitment / epochs default (8×H100 p5, on-demand, 1 epoch).
💡FLOPs ≈ 6 × params × tokens; more instances finish faster but the run cost tracks total GPU-hours. This is a per-run cost.
