Obviously.AI. --thoughts and usage
Been trying this out. Kind of cool although not so sure about the over simplification of the application. I can see this being a great asset to small-mid level firms. Currently working on Coinbase, Nike, and personal school related datasets

Google Colab thoughts
I love that anyone can jump right in and start using it. What I do not like is that it times out on you in the middle of a two hour training cycle. I have tried all the shortcuts to no avail. One piece of advice is to change your hardware type for large activities to "TPU". Speeds things up a bit!
