>>you need access to a computer with an Nvidia GPU, along with a python-based deep learning stack set up on it.

Is NVidia GPU a must have... can I workaround?

Yes, you can get by with an AMD GPU but it'll be a lot more work, and a lot more frustration.

It's worth spending the $0.90 per hour to use AWS, or less if you get spot instances.

You can do much of your prototyping on just a CPU, and only run on the GPU on more data once it's working well.
