I've been running some of the biggest open-weight LLMs for free on Nvidia's cloud
The author, a technical editor at XDA, shares his experience running large open-weight language models for free using Nvidia's Build platform, which provides access to powerful models hosted on Nvidia's DGX Cloud without requiring a credit card or incurring direct GPU costs.
