Livebook lets an Elixir notebook on a laptop coordinate work on remote GPUs. In Fly.io's 2024 conference recap, the FLAME library manages a pool of remote workers, while Livebook synchronizes notebook code and dependencies with them. Results return to the notebook as work finishes.
The reported 64-GPU example assigns different BERT training configurations to separate cloud machines. This lets the user compare settings for adapting a text model while controlling the experiment from one notebook. The GPUs reside in the cloud, and the example concerns parallel tuning trials rather than one model trained across all 64 devices.
