How to run a fine-tuning job on a cloud GPU with Oumi

Use Oumi launch to send the same recipe to GCP, AWS, Azure or Lambda.

Short answer: Install Oumi and set up credentials for your cloud provider; then launch on GCP with oumi launch up -c configs/recipes/smollm/sft/135m/quickstart_gcp_job.yaml; Target another cloud with a flag, for example --resources.cloud lambda. All steps.

cost. Cloud GPU jobs bill by the hour on your own cloud account; shut down resources when the job ends.

Who it is forA researcher with a laptop who needs a real GPU for a few hours of training.

The problemMoving a training job to the cloud usually means rewriting scripts for each provider.

The outcomeA remote training job started from one command, with the provider chosen by a flag.

What you need first

  • Python with uv or pip, or Docker
  • A GPU for real training runs (install the gpu extra)
  • Optional: cloud accounts for remote jobs with oumi launch

Steps

  1. Install Oumi and set up credentials for your cloud provider
  2. Launch on GCP with oumi launch up -c configs/recipes/smollm/sft/135m/quickstart_gcp_job.yaml
  3. Target another cloud with a flag, for example --resources.cloud lambda
  4. Or run locally in Docker with docker pull ghcr.io/oumi-ai/oumi:latest
  5. Scale up to a larger model recipe once the small job works

Prompt for your agent

Using oumi-ai/oumi, launch the SmolLM quickstart job on <cloud> with oumi launch up, monitor it until it finishes, and tell me how long it ran. Do not start any job larger than the quickstart without asking me.

Caveat. You need working credentials for each cloud; the README links to the launch docs for setup.
