Why no one is talking about Google Colab which is almost free for basic work in daily life?

I have been a big fan of Google Colab for about three years, and it is honestly amazing what it can do.

For example, a client on Fiverr approached me with 3500 images and asked me to remove the backgrounds from all of them. He wanted to know how much I would charge, and I quoted $200.

He placed the order immediately without asking any further questions. I informed him that the work would be completed within 24 hours and that the image quality would not be compromised, and he agreed.

When I delivered the order, he was genuinely impressed and started asking how I managed to finish the work so quickly, and whether I had a team. I told him that this is what eight years of experience looks like.

In reality, I simply created a Python script using the free version of ChatGPT and ran it in Google Colab. The entire task was completed in about three hours. Here is the script in case anyone wants to use it:

This is just one example. You can do countless things with Google Colab, and I think many people still underestimate how powerful it really is.

Now you can also connect the MCP of Google Colab in Claude Code, Codex and do whatever you want.
