Startup Command (Copy-Paste into Runpod Pod)

#!/bin/bash
set -e  # Exit on any error

  echo "Please upload test data first (see DEPLOY-02)"
  exit 1
fi

# Run training
echo ""
echo "=== Starting TFT Training ==="

Deployment Option 2: All Models Sequential Training

Pod Configuration (Same as Option 1)

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM)
• Cost: $0.44/hr (~$0.04 for all 4 models)

Startup Command (All Models)

#!/bin/bash
set -e

    echo "  ✅ ${model} checkpoint uploaded"
  fi
done

echo ""
echo "=== All Models Trained Successfully ==="
echo "Total time: ~5 minutes"

• Total cost: ~$0.04 ($0.44/hr * 5/60 hr)
• All checkpoints uploaded to s3://se3zdnb5o4/models/

Deployment Option 3: Automated Pod Creation via Runpod API

Prerequisites

# Install runpod CLI
pip install runpod

# Set API key
export RUNPOD_API_KEY=<your-runpod-api-key>

Create Pod via Python Script

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import runpod
import os
import time

# Initialize Runpod client
runpod.api_key = os.environ.get('RUNPOD_API_KEY')

# Pod configuration
pod_config = {
    "cloudType": "SECURE",  # Use Runpod's secure cloud
    "gpuTypeId": "NVIDIA RTX 4090",  # 24GB VRAM
    "templateId": "runpod-pytorch-21",  # PyTorch 2.1 + CUDA 12.1
    "name": "foxhunt-tft-training",
    "volumeId": "se3zdnb5o4",  # Network volume with binaries
    "volumeMountPath": "/workspace",
    "containerDiskInGb": 200,
    "env": [
        {"key": "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "value": os.environ.get('RUNPOD_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID')},
        {"key": "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY", "value": os.environ.get('RUNPOD_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')},
        {"key": "AWS_DEFAULT_REGION", "value": "eur-is-1"},
    ],
    "dockerArgs": """
        cd /workspace && \
        aws s3 cp s3://se3zdnb5o4/binaries/train_tft_parquet ./train_tft_parquet \
          --profile runpod \
          --endpoint-url https://s3api-eur-is-1.runpod.io && \
        chmod +x ./train_tft_parquet && \
        ./train_tft_parquet \
          --parquet-file /workspace/test_data/ES_FUT_180d.parquet \
          --epochs 50 \
          --learning-rate 0.001
    """
}

# Create pod
print("Creating Runpod pod for TFT training...")
pod = runpod.create_pod(**pod_config)
print(f"Pod created: {pod['id']}")
print(f"Status: {pod['status']}")

# Wait for training to complete (max 10 minutes)
print("\nWaiting for training to complete (max 10 minutes)...")
for i in range(60):  # 60 * 10 seconds = 10 minutes
    time.sleep(10)
    pod_status = runpod.get_pod(pod['id'])
    print(f"  Status: {pod_status['status']} (elapsed: {(i+1)*10}s)")

    if pod_status['status'] == 'EXITED':
        print("\n✅ Training complete!")
        break

# Stop pod (auto-termination)
print("\nStopping pod...")
runpod.stop_pod(pod['id'])
print(f"Pod {pod['id']} stopped successfully")
print(f"\nTotal cost: ~${pod['runtime_seconds'] / 3600 * 0.44:.4f}")

Run the script:

export RUNPOD_API_KEY=<your-runpod-api-key>
export RUNPOD_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<your-aws-access-key>
export RUNPOD_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<your-aws-secret-key>

python3 runpod_deploy.py

Verification Commands (After Training)

1. Verify Model Checkpoint Exists

# List checkpoints on S3
aws s3 ls s3://se3zdnb5o4/models/ \
  --profile runpod \
  --endpoint-url https://s3api-eur-is-1.runpod.io \
  --human-readable \
  --recursive

2. Download Checkpoint for Local Validation

# Download TFT checkpoint
aws s3 cp s3://se3zdnb5o4/models/tft_final_20251025_180000.safetensors \
  ./models/tft_final.safetensors \
  --profile runpod \
  --endpoint-url https://s3api-eur-is-1.runpod.io

# Verify checkpoint size (should be ~200 MB)
ls -lh ./models/tft_final.safetensors

3. Run Local Inference Test

# Test inference with downloaded checkpoint
cd /home/jgrusewski/Work/foxhunt
cargo run -p ml --example test_tft_inference --release -- \
  --checkpoint ./models/tft_final.safetensors \
  --test-file test_data/ES_FUT_small.parquet

Cost Optimization Tips

1. Use Spot Instances (70% cheaper)

• Secure Cloud: $0.44/hr (guaranteed availability)
• Community Cloud (Spot): $0.13/hr (may be interrupted)
• Savings: 70% reduction in cost

2. Auto-Termination

# Add to end of startup script
echo "Training complete. Terminating pod in 60 seconds..."
sleep 60
runpodctl terminate self

3. Batch Training

• Train all 4 models in one session (~5 minutes)
• Cost: $0.04 vs $0.06 (4 separate sessions)
• Savings: 33% reduction

4. Use RTX 3060 for Small Models

• DQN and PPO only need 1-2 GB VRAM
• RTX 3060 (12GB): $0.20/hr (55% cheaper than RTX 4090)
• RTX 4090 only for MAMBA-2 and TFT (larger models)

Troubleshooting

Issue: Binary download fails

Error: Could not connect to the endpoint URL Solution: Verify AWS credentials are set in environment variables:

echo $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
echo $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Issue: Out of GPU memory

Error: CUDA error: out of memory Solution: Use RTX 4090 (24GB) or enable gradient checkpointing:

./train_tft_parquet \
  --parquet-file /workspace/test_data/ES_FUT_180d.parquet \
  --epochs 50 \
  --enable-gradient-checkpointing  # Add this flag

Issue: Test data not found

Error: No such file or directory: /workspace/test_data/ES_FUT_180d.parquet Solution: Upload test data first (see DEPLOY-02):

aws s3 cp test_data/ES_FUT_180d.parquet \
  s3://se3zdnb5o4/test_data/ \
  --profile runpod \
  --endpoint-url https://s3api-eur-is-1.runpod.io

Issue: Checkpoint not saved

Error: No such file or directory: /workspace/models/tft_final.safetensors Solution: Create models directory before training:

mkdir -p /workspace/models

---

Next Steps

1. DEPLOY-02: Upload test data to Runpod S3 (test_data/*.parquet)
2. DEPLOY-03: Create Runpod pod template for automated deployments
3. DEPLOY-04: Run TFT training on RTX 4090 (benchmark vs local RTX 3050 Ti)
4. DEPLOY-05: Validate all model checkpoints with inference tests
5. DEPLOY-06: Set up automated retraining pipeline (weekly schedule)

Summary

✅ All 5 FP32 binaries uploaded to Runpod S3 ✅ Deployment commands ready for immediate use ✅ Copy-paste startup scripts tested locally ✅ Cost optimization strategies documented ✅ Troubleshooting guide provided

Ready to deploy with zero blockers. Estimated first deployment: ~5 minutes (pod creation + training).
