Cool. Who is paying for the compute? Or is this similar to CI/CD jobs?

There is a finite but reasonably generous free layer of several hours per month at GitHub. At least for -- long-term fear with *all* cloud services is of course that they rope us in and squeeze us later. We shall see. For now it is not bad and there edu discounts too.

Gitlab offers developing in the cloud with VSCode. Google is pushing Colab and Vertex AI workbench. The future is in the cloud. I hope it is more transparent as this one. I found Google Colab Python notebooks hard to reproduce.
