What is the vram they offer now? I forget if they give the full 24gb of k80 or not
They give half of that. But most of the time you will be allotted 16gb T4 which is much nicer.
What does google get for providing this service for free?
Full access to your data and algorithms.
Any source?
A way of creating a pipeline of future customers; goodwill; increased clue and interest in machine learning, which may help them sell more platform services in the future.
You are the product.
