# Challenges in Traditional AI Model Training **Challenges in Traditional AI Model Training:** * Dependency on GPU and TPU: Traditional AI model training heavily relies on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), which can be expensive and have limited availability. * Cost Barriers: The high cost of GPU and TPU usage poses a significant barrier for small-scale developers and researchers, hindering innovation and progress in the AI field. * Scalability Issues: Scaling AI model training with traditional hardware often faces limitations in terms of scalability and efficiency, particularly for large-scale projects. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://neuralbyte.gitbook.io/neuralbyte-erc/introduction/challenges-in-traditional-ai-model-training.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
