Training Cost

Definitions

1. The total cost of training a model, including compute usage, storage, engineering time, data preparation, and supporting infrastructure. Training cost is a major factor in choosing between retraining, fine-tuning, and prompt-only approaches.

   In plain English: What it costs to train a model.

   Example: "They avoided full retraining because the projected training cost was too high for an uncertain product bet."
