Wohoo ๐ฅณ I have finished my 2025 GPU workstation build and I am very excited to train new awesome open source models on it.
I built my last GPU workstation 5 years ago featuring an AMD Ryzen 5900X, 64GB of G.SKILL Trident Z RGB on an ASRock X570 Taichi cooled by an Alphacool Eisbรคr 420. GPU was a Zotac RTX 3090 AMP Extreme. Unfortunately, I was never satisfied with the case - some Fractal Define 7, as it is definitely too small, airflow is not optimal as I had to open the front door all the time and it also arrived with a partly damaged side panel.
For my new build, I've used the following components: an outstanding new AMD Ryzen 9950X3D with 64GB of Corsair Dominator Titanium (what a name). As a huge Noctua fan - warm greetings to my Austrian neighbors - I am using the brand new Noctua NH-D15 G2 on an ASRock X870E Taichi in an amazing Lian Li LANCOOL III chassis. One joke that only NVIDIA Blackwell users will understand: you definitely need a tempered glass panel to check if your GPU cables/connectors start melting ๐ And the best is yet to come: I returned my previously bought Zotac RTX 5090 Solid to the eBay seller (because of... missing ROPs, only NVIDIA Blackwell users will again understand) and bought a Zotac 5090 AMP Extreme INFINITY (yes, the long name indicates that this is the flagship model from Zotac) from a more trustworthy source (NBB in Germany).
I am so happy to start training and fine-tuning new open source models - stay tuned!!!

๐น๐ท ๐ I'm very happy to finally announce my new Turkish LM called "BERT5urk":
stefan-it/bert5urk
It is a 1.42B T5-based model, trained with UL2 pretraining objective on the Turkish part of the awesome HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-2 dataset.
Feel free to check it out!

After running some 3DMark and FurMark benchmarks on Windows to make sure that my new 5090 is not causing melting cables [1] and some nice shots with a thermal camera (I don't think that's too much), running some fine-tuning experiments with my favorite Flair & Transformers libraries are very easy to perform.
Important steps:
Good idea is to start with a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 installation with latest CUDA 12.8 and the open NVIDIA driver - follow more advices from [2]:
I tried update from an existing Ubuntu installation with an older CUDA and driver version and it resulted in a non-startable system.
If you are using PyTorch 2.6 with built CUDA 12.6 it will result in:
But no worries! For PyTorch you need just to use a nightly 2.7 version that was built with CUDA 12.8. This can easily done via:
After that the latest Flair version can be installed and fine-tuning will work!

My latest project is the outcome of the last 2+ years working with TPUs from the amazing TPU Research Cloud (TRC) program and training Encoder-only LMs with the TensorFlow Model Garden library.
๐ Link: https://github.com/stefan-it/model-garden-lms
An overview of some features:
- Cheatsheet for setting-up a TPU VM Pod (with all necessary dependencies) to pretrain LMs with TF Model Garden
- Conversion scripts that convert TF Model Garden weights to Hugging Face Transformers-compatible models
- Supported architectures include BERT, BERT with Token Dropping and TEAMS
I also released BERT-based models pretrained on the great Hugging Face FineWeb and FineWeb-Edu datasets (10BT subset). With more to come!
