It seems to be an unanswered question…

> Hi all, First of all, thank you very much for taking your time to read and answer my question. I’m new in NLP, I just heard about HuggingFace a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I was struggling from morning to night to execute a simple test to see how Auto Train (and Autotrain advanced) work. I’m writing this after literally breaking my head with different attempts and I have a question: Is it possible the reason I didn’t manage to execute the LLM fine tuning task is that I didn’t add a pay…

I think AutoTrainAdvanced itself can run in free CPU space. It’s very slow for very small models…  
But I think it was definitely working a few months ago.🤔

Maybe the model is too big, or maybe it’s asking for a GPU-intensive process and you don’t have a GPU in Spaces or your environment.

well, I added a payment method, restarted the space, and it still fails in the same way ☹

Is it possible that it may or may not occur depending on the model and data set you are trying to train?
