Recently I purchased "[Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)](https://www.manning.com/books/build-a-large-language-model-from-scratch)" by Sebastian Raschka, so that I could learn more about how to build and/or fine-tune a LLM, and even developing some applications with them. I have also been skimming and reading on this sub for several months, and have witnessed many interesting developments that I would like to follow and experiment with.

However, there is a problem: The machine I have is a very old Macbook Pro from 2011 and I probably would not be able to afford a new one until I'm in graduate school next year. So I was wondering that, other than getting a new machine, what are the other (online/cloud) alternatives and/or options that I could use, to experiments with LLMs?

Many thanks!
