Ask HN: Hardware suggestion for entering deep learning?

I don't know your situation but my suggestion is, if you are really interested in deep learning, get hired by a company that does it.

Deep learning is a hot topic right now and if you have any aptitude in that direction you will get hired very quickly.

One benefit of using cloud GPUs is the ability to train multiple models simultaneously. This is difficult to do with your own hardware at a reasonable cost, especially since a large portion of your time will be spent on hyperparameter tuning.

While you're getting started with your own hardware I'd love it if you could share any feedback on something we've been building[0] as far as cloud training goes. It's currently in free public beta and works directly with TensorFlow models so there's no lock-in.
