Engineers could allocate GPUs for several hours or days, complete a training job, and terminate the environment. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the workload changed as the company grew, GPU utilization became almost continuous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team was now running:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distributed model training;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fine-tuning of large language models;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">synthetic-data generation;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">embedding pipelines;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">evaluation workloads;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">production batch inference;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer-specific model experiments.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large training jobs increasingly required 8 H100-class GPUs simultaneously, and obtaining identical GPU capacity at the required time was not always predictable. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company also found that running large GPU instances continuously changed the economics of the public cloud. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its requirements were therefore very different from those of an early-stage experimental AI project:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 high-end GPUs in a single server;<\/span><\/li>\n<li

style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">predictable monthly infrastructure cost.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solution<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asteria AI moved its baseline training and inference capacity to a dedicated 8x NVIDIA H100 server with Unihost in the Netherlands. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company selected the <\/span><b>AZM-12<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a large multi-GPU configuration designed for demanding AI workloads. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike the temporary cloud instances previously used by the team, the entire GPU platform is dedicated to Asteria AI and remains permanently available for its ML engineers and production workloads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Unihost solution used<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AZM-12 Multi-GPU Dedicated Server in Netherlands<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2x Intel Xeon Gold 6448Y<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8x NVIDIA H100 NVLink<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 TB RAM, 2 TB NVMe<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 Gbps network<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used for: distributed LLM training, fine-tuning, reinforcement and preference optimization workloads, large-scale inference, synthetic-data generation, embeddings, and model evaluation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 8x NVIDIA H100 NVLink configuration allows Asteria AI to distribute large training workloads across multiple GPUs within a single physical machine while maintaining fast communication between accelerators. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The server&#8217;s 2 TB of system memory provides substantial capacity for preprocessing and large datasets, while the 10 Gbps connection is used for transferring datasets, model checkpoints, and results to the company&#8217;s storage environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving to dedicated H100 infrastructure changed how the engineering team used GPU resources. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously, engineers planned experiments around cloud GPU availability and frequently terminated environments immediately after jobs were completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the dedicated 8-GPU node, the team can maintain a permanent training environment and keep datasets, Docker images, model caches, and development tooling ready for the next workload. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average GPU utilization increased from approximately 35 &#8211; 45% to more than 70% because unused capacity could immediately be reassigned between training, evaluation, inference, and research jobs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asteria AI also reduced the time required to start large training workloads. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provisioning an 8-GPU environment, synchronizing datasets, installing dependencies, and restoring checkpoints previously took anywhere from tens of minutes to several hours depending on cloud capacity and dataset size.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a persistent dedicated environment, new workloads can begin almost immediately when GPU resources become available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training larger models<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest architectural change was the ability to treat eight H100 GPUs as a permanent compute pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asteria AI uses the server for distributed training and fine-tuning of models that would be impractical to run on one or two GPUs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The environment supports several workload types:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large training jobs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 all 8x H100 GPUs assigned to one distributed workload<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Model fine-tuning<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 4-8 GPUs depending on model size<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evaluation and inference<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 GPUs divided between multiple jobs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Development and experimentation<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 available capacity allocated dynamically to engineering teams<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This allows the company to keep expensive GPU hardware productive even when a large training run is not active.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Predictable AI infrastructure costs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost predictability was another major benefit. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud GPU pricing worked well when the team used accelerators intermittently. It became less attractive once H100 workloads were running continuously. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With dedicated hardware, Asteria AI knows the cost of its baseline GPU capacity in advance and can optimize utilization around a fixed infrastructure budget. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company still uses public cloud GPU instances when it needs to temporarily exceed the capacity of its dedicated environment. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The resulting architecture is therefore hybrid:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unihost 8\u00d7 H100 server<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 permanent training capacity<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 continuous inference workloads<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 fine-tuning<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 evaluation<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 development<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public cloud GPU capacity<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 temporary large-scale experiments<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 exceptional demand<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 additional GPUs during major training cycles<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOnce eight GPUs are busy most of the week, GPU infrastructure stops being something you provision for individual experiments. It becomes core infrastructure. Having a dedicated H100 node means our researchers can schedule workloads around available GPUs instead of scheduling their work around cloud capacity.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operational impact<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dedicated environment also simplified MLOps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of recreating temporary environments for each major workload, the team maintains one standardized GPU platform with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CUDA and NVIDIA drivers;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PyTorch;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distributed training frameworks;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">containerized ML environments;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">local model and dataset caches;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monitoring;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">centralized job scheduling.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This reduced setup overhead and made experiments easier to reproduce across the engineering team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s next<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asteria AI expects its GPU requirements to continue growing as it works with larger models and larger customer datasets. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company is evaluating a second multi-GPU server to separate production inference from research and training. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Longer term, the architecture can evolve from a single 8x H100 node into a multi-node GPU cluster, allowing the company to increase compute capacity without changing its existing ML workflow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Results at a glance: 8x NVIDIA H100 NVLink, 70%+ GPU utilization, permanent large-model training environment, faster job startup, predictable baseline GPU capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the client Asteria AI develops enterprise generative AI solutions for document intelligence, knowledge management, and domain-specific language models.
