Why Google Colab + Hugging Face is Cool

Working with machine learning models doesn’t have to mean installing huge toolchains locally.

### 🧪 Why Colab?

- Free GPUs and TPUs

- No local setup

- Easy sharing with friends or teammates

- Built-in Google Drive integration

### 🤗 Why Hugging Face?

- Pretrained models for text, vision, audio

- Easy-to-use APIs

- Community-driven model hub

## 🚀 Minimal working example

Here’s a Hugging Face model running in Colab (copy this into a .ipynb file):

from transformers import pipeline



pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="gpt2")



response = pipe("Hugo is a static site generator that", max\_new\_tokens=30)

print(response\[0]\["generated\_text"])
