#Is it possible to use Runpod to finetune a text to speech model

How to connect two what?
basically use runpod as my gpu to train the model
Alltalk tts has its own batch files to run finetuning, only issue is my GPU doesnt have enough VRAM to run it in a reasonable time hence runpod
Move files to your pod for training? You can try runpodctl https://github.com/runpod/runpodctl
so essentially install everything and move all data into the pod itself train it there and then redownload it back to main machine?
yeah, or you can pull/save file from cloud storage like aws s3, google drive and etc.
the pod itself doesn't actually have visual GUI right, just command line? because the finetuning software is run with GUI without commandline options that I know of
I very unfamiliar with runpod itself so I assume it isn't exactly like a virtual machine
some templates will spin up a web server and you can "view" your pod from browser. RunPod is basically docker container, you can think it is very light weight VM.
