Google expands code assistance features to all Colab users

Google is expanding code assistance features to all Colab users, including users on free-of-charge plans. With more than 10 million monthly active users, including millions of students globally, Colab is Google's largest AI-enabled coding tool.

Colab provides developers with free access to powerful computing resources, including TPUs and GPUs, without having to install or manage any software. By providing free access to TPUs and NVIDIA GPUs, Colab aims to democratize access to AI-enabled coding.

"By providing access to compute power and offering AI-assisted coding features, Colab helps ensure all users, from advanced professionals to students, can learn, develop, and practice machine learning and AI. It’s part of our long-standing tradition to provide access to AI development tools to users and teams around the world. We're excited to expand these code assistance features and hope it’s helpful as our users leverage Colab to learn, develop and practice their skills," Google wrote in a post.

Colab is now offering a limited-time trial of AI-powered code assistance features to everyone in eligible locales, allowing anyone to experience the power of Google's generative models.

Earlier this year, Google added code assistance features inside Colab Pro, allowing developers in over 175 locales around the world to increase programming speed, quality and comprehension.
