All right, thanks! I wasn’t really aware of Colab’s free tier extents so it’s good to know there’s something of an intermediate stage between using my laptop and paying for compute. Also an easier interface than having to e.g. use AWS… personally I’d also be ok with just SSH’ing into a remote machine and working there but I’m not sure if anyone offers something like that.
Whereas if you only have some mid-range laptop without a proper graphics card, Claude expects a 10-50x slowdown, so that might become rather impractical for some of the ARENA exercises, I suppose.
I have a gaming laptop, so a decently powerful GPU but it obviously still isn’t as beefy as what you can rent from these compute services.
