Ai dungeon creator here. Another option is if you can detect what region the colab notebook is in and have a multi region bucket for each international area you could download from the right region and it may be quite cheap. Our costs were primarily from US GCS buckets downloading to colab servers that were apparently running in Asia and Europe.

Thanks! Do you happen to have an example of how to detect the region in a Colab notebook? Apparently IP geolocation isn't reliable for GCE IPs (they all show Mountain View, CA).
