Can you share how large your dataset (how many tokens) and batch size was and how many epochs you used? By training slowly, do you mean that you used a small learning rate? If so, what was it?
I've been reading up on batch size and people are all over the place. Some say smaller is better and some say larger is better. Mostly when it comes to gpt2 people say larger is better but there must come a point when increasing the batch size is no longer beneficial (or is it just that you use as large as your memory will allow)?
