Hey @respwill This is coming out from my sole experience, colab pro is shit. That simple, they don't offer you good GPU's except you can get benefits of longer runtimes and more RAM. I never got Tesla T4 even once after subscribing to Colab Pro. I would say stick with the regular Colab which is free, also make use of the Kaggle Kernels they're really good. And yea summing up, it's not worth it. Also, check out paperspace. |

@ashikshafi08 Thank you for comment. I'd rather stay at regular Colab. |

I don't think even the current setup of Colab Pro offers guaranteed access to certain GPUs. I've been using Colab for the last couple of months and only getting K80 GPUs (not capable of mixed precision). Something may have changed with the setup they're using to power Colab (after all, it is provided for free). |

@mrdbourke Thank you comment. I also only gets K80, so it was hard to follow some courses. |
