They're also not very interested in making it easier for you to train models at home. Not that it's a big risk for them if you were able to do so: you don't have the data, and your models are only as good as your data, but they'd rather you came to their cloud and paid $2/hr per die for an outdated Tesla K80. Which, to their credit, they've made it very easy to hook up to your VM. Literally, you just tell them how many you need and your VM starts with that many GPUs attached. Super slick.
