Thought this was an interesting comparison(GPU speed)

While following the video:

I noticed that the time of training time on my free GPU is quite lower than the one that is supposed to be for PRO users.

Benchmark from the video:

Benchmark from my notebook:

I assume that this is simply due to the passage of time and that both sides got upgraded GPUs after the video was made, but I still thought this was interesting enough to share.

or who knows, maybe that is just the power of dark mode

hah, continued watching and:

mine is still faster for model_0

Hey @Watcher2747 ,

Good observation.

Yes, you're right the GPU hardware running Colab can vary quite often nowadays.

My guess is: new GPUs are being used and old GPUs are being swapped/replaced.

Or... it could be dark mode! 🌚

Good news though because faster is generally better!
