I am currently running/training MAchine learning models that are very GPU expensive, Google Colab Pro is not giving me enough GPU/RAM

Is there any alternatives with better GPU and more RAM than Google Colab Pro??

Here are a few options:

  • Commercial cloud provider: AWS is the go-to cloud provider for virtually any need, they have options for everything. Check out their options for Deep Learning.
  • You could also buy your own hardware
  • Finally from a data science perspective there is also the option of modifying the parameters of the model and/or data so that the training fits with the hardware limitations.

Try Kaggle, they offer 30 hours of TPU per week which might help if you are working with tensorflow or torch (TPUs have 128GB of memory). What you should try when running into memory issues is to use half precision floats which reduces memory requirements.

You should try paperspace gradient notebooks. You can get access to them for as low as 8$/month (pro version) and also get access to unlimited A4000 GPU which is really powerful. Also, unlike colab it doesn't disconnect after 12 hours. Also, you get larger RAM/storage and various other perks. I used it for a large-scale deep learning project and it gave me far fewer headaches as compared to kaggle or colab.
