but there is no Step 2, it doesn’t exist
Oh, come on, you’re kidding.
But it’s rather common at HF. I don’t know if it was at the time they wrote the article or if they wrote it because it’s theoretically possible in an ideal state…
But it’s a little unusual for them to lie in the article, let alone in README.md, which has a lot of copy and paste.
I’m surprised HuggingFace don’t offer access on a usage basis; after all they do know how to share GPUs - that’s what spaces is all about!
I think it’s by the hour, not by the amount of usage, since we all share the same GPU at HF. I understand that’s the only way to do it, especially with the Zero GPU structure.
But I can very well understand that a billing plan on a per usage basis would be helpful.
Because now you are charged even while the system is down due to errors. (I saw someone complaining about it on the forum)
I think it would be good to submit a request if possible. Well, it won’t happen right now, but adding more plans is technically just writing a few lines. From a management standpoint, though, it would require a meeting or something.
