The description and link can be mismatched because of extraction errors.

  • https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1YORPWx4okIHXnjW7MSAidXN29mPVNT7F?usp=sharing: Link to a Google Colab notebook where one can train/run models using a free Tesla T4 from Google.
  • https://fullstackdeeplearning.com/cloud-gpus/ - A comparison table for cloud GPUs is suggested as useful for downloading lots of data and doing it on a recurring basis. The message also mentions trying Google Colab despite it not being suitable for the task.
  • https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-use-google-colab-with-vs-code/ : The article discusses how to use ngrok and vscode with hosted notebooks to code with scripts and use GPU resources for free. It also mentions that this method used to work with Colab but seems to have been banned.
  • https://vast.ai/ - The message asks for reviews on this cloud GPU rental platform.
  • URL: N/A (not provided in the given context)
  • Context: The message in the given link provides information on how to reduce the size of a container image when using Sentence Transformers for word embeddings by using the Torch CPU image instead of the Torch GPU image. The Docker file command for installing Torch CPU is also provided.
  • https://www.qblocks.cloud/ is run by a friend and is recommended for use. The message also offers to put the reader in touch with the founder if needed.
