LLama 65B used 2048 80G A100s for 21 days:

> When training a 65B-parameter model, our code processes around 380 tokens/sec/GPU on 2048 A100 GPU with 80GB of RAM.[1]

Note that you probably need to budget for double to triple that because things go wrong and it usually takes multiple starts to get a good training run.

Smaller models are cheaper though.
