I can choose training budget in customvision.ai in hours: enter image description here

And I can see how much it cost in azure price calculator:

azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator

But I missing information what resources I will get for this price per hour (how many CPU/GPU cores etc..?). I just want to understood will that training uses only CPU or GPU too, and how much.

Custom Vision in Azure Cognitive Services is a platform service as far as I understand. That means that billing is based on service (API) usage and not by hardware resources (number of CPU/GPU cores etc.). Azure's pricing documentation about this service supports this.

A sample training that I performed shows results like below. CPU/GPU usage information for that training iteration is not available on customvision.ai or Azure portal.

  • I think that this missing information is very important, because without it you can't compare: is it better to buy local resources and train own model, or pay for magic hours, maybe that 24 hours for 240$ will train model on 1 vCPU and 1 GPU, so then I will prefer better to use local training on my own machine. Unfortunately I think, that I I will not get answer for that question... – Marius Kazlauskas Jul 28 '21 at 17:52
