Google colab is also fine, but they only provide 12 hours with 1 GPU, which is not enough to get you enough training epochs. \nI belive the best option for a one-time competion should be google cloud, since $300 credit is enough for you to do 1 gpu for a month if you choose preemitable instance. If you are willing to paying some money, you can also access 96 cores, ove 1 TB Ram with 4-8 gpus machine there. </p>\n\n<p>However, in long term, the best option is to build your own desktops. To get a medal here, I believe you need at least 1 1080Ti. To be competitive for gold medal, you need to find teammates who also have a lot of gpus. According to Andrea, top 3 teams normally have more than 20 GPUs running 24 hours every day</p>",
