free GPU in less than 60 seconds, without any complicated installs or

platform.

Paperspace recently introduced a Free Tier of free GPU and CPU instances. To
use them, choose Free-GPU or Free-P5000 (recommended) in step 2.6 Create

dependent on the Instance Type selected. Notebooks must be stopped to end billing.
Consider using new Gradient “preemptible” instances which can save you money
when using paid instances.
