Colab.research.google.com, also known as Google Colab, is a cloud-based Jupyter notebook environment that allows users to write and execute Python code through a web browser. It combines the functionality of Jupyter Notebooks with the computing power of Google's cloud infrastructure, making it a powerful platform for data analysis, machine learning, and scientific computing.
How It Works
Google Colab provides an interactive coding environment where users can write, run, and share Python code. It supports various Python libraries and frameworks, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Matplotlib, and Scikit-learn, among others. Users can import and work with datasets, visualize data, train machine learning models, and more, all within the Colab interface.
Pricing
Google Colab is free to use for individual users. However, there are limitations on computational resources and runtime duration in the free tier. For more demanding workloads, Google offers paid plans with access to greater computational resources and longer runtime limits.
