Optimize your AWS DeepRacer costs with these tips

Use Free League Events

Participate in free AWS DeepRacer League events to hone your autonomous racing skills. This is a cost-effective way to train your reinforcement learning models.

Optimized Training Regime

Optimize reinforcement learning hyperparameters and training regimen to decrease iterations. Each iteration incurs cost, thus fewer iterations mean lower costs.

Reuse Pre-Trained Models

Using pre-existing models from the AWS DeepRacer model marketplace can be cheaper than training new ones. Only create new models if the existing ones don't meet your needs.
