Training a frontier model is highly compute-intensive, requiring a distributed system of hundreds, or thousands, of accelerated instances running for several weeks or months to complete a single job. For example, pre-training the Llama 3 70B model with 15 trillion training tokens took 6.5 million H100 GPU hours. On 256 Amazon EC2 P5 instances (p5.48xlarge, each with 8 NVIDIA H100 GPUs), this would take approximately 132 days.
