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?
