I know that TPU runtime in Kaggle is 3 hours but I couldn't find information about TPU runtime in Kaggle. Is it the same with GPU runtime? I've bought Colab Pro in the last week for using GPU in another competition. Do Google Colab and Google Colab Pro have the same or different TPU's? And what's the difference between Colab TPU runtime and Colab Pro TPU runtime? Does it exist at all?</p>",
