...and there are some issues with this free model (Colab notebook timeouts and TPUs sometimes being unavailable) which the author is "unfairly annoyed [with] since I’m getting something for free".
See also "AI Dungeon 2 costing over $10k/day to run on GCS/Colab"[0] noting that the costs were not due to Colab itself but the bandwidth in copying the model from the GCP Storage Bucket to Colab.
