It's perfect to start exploring ML frameworks. It allows to switch into GPU mode (Tesla K80 GPU but with limitations - less ram etc.).

  The provided VM has 13GB RAM: more than enough for beginner DL projects. For non-beginner projects, you can use a batch generator to avoid storing everything in memory. (Keras has a good fit_generator utility)

    I was referring to VRAM. It was < 500 MB. But you are right. It's more than enough for beginners projects.

      Then you didn't get the K80. There are two types of gpu's in colab and it's really random which you get on a given run. One is extra weak, the other is a K80.
