Layer allows you to track your experiments and gives you free GPU access.

Okay, really do not understand the tracking of experiment part!!! I know kaggle gives free limited GPU, colab does too and colab pro gives a larger reasonable amount of GPU and memory allocation. So what make layer different or special?

Hey @Emmanuel360__RAIN, thanks for the question.

This is Mehmet, from Layer. With experiment tracking, you can log anything during your experiments like metrics, plots, datasets even models. Layer automatically version these assets and provide an easy way to compare your experiments.

Here is an example ML model on Layer:
