I was initially skeptical of Colaboratory notebooks when it was first released, but the value of a free GPU (and Python 3 support eventually added) makes it worthwhile to use. I recently wrote a tutorial on training a text-generating neural network based on Colaboratory here: http://minimaxir.com/2018/05/text-neural-networks/ (and I have trained many-hours-worth of models with it!) The only problem I have with the Co…

fwiw we have an example notebook for I/O: https://tools.google.com/seedbank/seed/5646239437684736 Transfer from Google Drive is particularly fast (many GB is no problem) since it's google datacenter to datacenter.

If you don't mind me asking: It seems like you can just run arbitrary stuff in a cloud instance for free using colab including GPUs. This doesn't sound a like a sustainable offering. This sounds a lot like the old Google, which offered a lot of stuff for free but had to shut it down. Do you have any thoughts on that? Are there plans for a paid offering?
