Inference is when new data is fed into an existing model to reach 
conclusions. This is a decent overview of creating and training a model.

techniques-and-best-practices/

I haven't looked at this series but there a many PyTorch or TensorFlow 
tutorials online.

https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/basics/intro.html

The original MNIST database was 60,000 pre-scaled images of hand written 
digits. Fashion MNIST has 60,000 grayscale  clothing images and 10,000 
test images. This isn't NLP and the datasets are laughingly small. If 
you're lucky you have a Nvidia GPU. So far most packages use CUDA which is 
a Nvidia thing. Some can be set to use the CPU. In either case you might 
want to go for a cup of coffee while the epochs spool by minimizing the 
loss function.

You do realize the players in the field are using banks of $40,000 Nvidia 
GPUs and are trying to buy nuclear plants to power them? If you want to 
talk about ChatGPT here are some numbers.
