Kaggle Notebooks

Free, browser-based Jupyter notebooks from Kaggle with weekly GPU/TPU quotas, tied directly to its datasets and competitions.

Kaggle Notebooks are Google-hosted, Jupyter-compatible notebooks that run entirely in the browser and attach directly to Kaggle's datasets and machine-learning competitions, so a notebook can reference a competition dataset without any download or upload step. Every account gets a free weekly quota of GPU hours (commonly around 30) and separate TPU hours, with session time limits, making it a common free alternative to Colab for compute-constrained model training. Notebooks ('kernels') can be kept private or published publicly, forked from other users' work, and are automatically versioned each time they're run and saved. There is no paid subscription tier or self-hosted option; the entire product is free, funded as part of Google's Kaggle platform, with usage bounded by shared, non-guaranteed compute quotas rather than by a billing plan.
