can these do training or only inference? currently working on learning machine learning and I'd love to have a physical machine I could aim to build real workloads on in a few years.

They're Turing complete. What else do you need?
It’s possible (likely, even) to have a chip fast enough for inference, but not fast enough or with enough memory to do meaningful training runs. Like the current DGX spark.
There is a reason why Google has tpu8i and tpu8t
technically in order for something to be turing complete it needs infinite memory
The more (memory) you buy, the more you save!
I believe training is way more processor intensive than inference.
not for llm full training, but can do some finetuning for sure.
