Workspace customers of all shapes and sizes now have the ability to buy Colab Pro and Pro+ licenses for users in their organization via the Workspace Admin console! This allows admins to purchase and assign licenses in bulk at discounted prices depending on commitment length. While Colab’s version that is free of charge is still available to users as normal, the addition of a paid license offers access to premium features like:

  1. More compute units
  2. Faster GPUs
  3. More memory
  4. Terminal access
  5. Background execution

This feature allows educational institutions to give their students, faculty, and researchers access to enterprise-class coding resources - whether that’s for gaining skills in python proficiency, or high powered research outfits, such as HausaNLP. Professors can now rely on institutions to provide their students with enough computing power to complete more data intensive programming assignments and research, all while not having to spend unnecessary time getting a complicated coding environment up and running.

Whether you’re a 5-person startup or a large university, giving your users instant access to powerful computation has never been more convenient. Level up your data analysis, model development, or python learning environment with Colab+Workspace!
