Paperspace Notebooks
Paperspace Notebooks is a hosted, browser-based Jupyter IDE for data exploration and machine-learning model development with accelerated compute. Users can launch GPU-enabled notebooks from a browser using a pre-built template or their own setup. It runs Jupyter files and projects in languages such as Python, with notebook machines running in Docker containers and shared persistent storage for work across notebooks.
Teams can invite collaborators, assign permissions, fork public projects, and create notebooks. Pro and Growth subscribers can mount public or private S3-compatible data sources, including AWS S3 and DigitalOcean Spaces. Listed tools include TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit Learn, TensorRT, TensorBoard, ONNX, XGBoost, HuggingFace, RAPIDS, and Fast.ai. An HTTP-based API supports programmatic resource management. The free plan includes 5 GB storage and free CPU and GPU machines, but free-tier machine auto-shutdown cannot exceed six hours. Paid plans start at $8.00 per month. Platforms listed are API, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows; a separate desktop app is listed for Windows 10+, OS X 10.13+, and Linux beta.
