Summary
Introduces the Google Colab Command-Line Interface (CLI), enabling zero-friction accelerator provisioning (GPUs/TPUs), simple remote execution of local Python scripts and ML pipelines on Colab runtimes, seamless artifact recovery (models, datasets, logs), and interactive access to remote Colab environments. The CLI is designed for integration with AI agents, including a prepackaged skill file for agent-driven workflows, demonstrated by an example of fine-tuning Gemma 3-1B using a QLoRA pipeline.
