| Access barrier | oauth |
| How you get a credential | oauth-only (stated on the row) |

| Caveats | GPU access is NOT guaranteed — Google's FAQ says "access to expensive resources like GPUs is heavily restricted" on the free tier, and resources are "not guaranteed and not unlimited". No published hour quota, so any specific figure you read elsewhere (commonly "15-30 h/week") is third-party inference, not a Google commitment. Idle sessions are terminated and users "actively programming in a notebook" are prioritised, which penalises unattended jobs specifically. agent_usable is false: this is a hosted notebook UI with no API an agent can call. Needs a Google account. |
No measured example — this row is evidence: documented: it states what the provider's own page advertised on the date shown, and this worker holds no credential to call it. The provider's documentation is the source: https://research.google.com/colaboratory/faq.html
