Paperspace Notebooks
New York, United States
What it is
Paperspace Notebooks is a hosted, browser-based Jupyter IDE for exploring data and building machine-learning models with accelerated compute. Users can launch GPU-enabled notebooks from a browser with a pre-built template or their own setup. The IDE works with Jupyter files and projects in languages such as Python, and notebooks run in Docker containers. Shared persistent storage supports development across notebooks.
For collaboration, users can create teams, invite collaborators, set permissions, fork public projects, and create notebooks. Pro and Growth subscribers can mount public or private S3-compatible sources, including AWS S3 and DigitalOcean Spaces. Listed frameworks and tools include TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit Learn, TensorRT, TensorBoard, ONNX, XGBoost, HuggingFace, RAPIDS, and Fast.ai. An API supports programmatic resource management using HTTP requests. The free plan includes 5 GB of storage and free CPU and GPU machines; its machines have a six-hour maximum auto-shutdown setting. Paid plans start at $8.00 per month. Platforms include API, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows; a separate desktop app is listed for Windows 10+, OS X 10.13+, and Linux beta.
