Is graph card required?

To run nanoGPT, is a graph card essential? Without a graph card, the pytorch framework will throw an error, right?

To run nanoGPT, having a GPU can significantly improve the training and inference speed. However, it is not strictly necessary, and the model can be trained or run on other processing units like the CPU.

What do you need to install to get gpu to work?

You don't need a GPU on your machine to use NanoGPT, an environment like google colab can easily support up till gpt2-medium, and maybe more, depending on how you change hyper parameters.
