Introducing the Google Colab CLI

Google announced the Colab Command-Line Interface, which connects local terminals to remote Colab runtimes for streamlined execution of Python scripts and ML workflows. The tool enables developers and AI agents to provision GPUs or TPUs instantly, execute remote code, retrieve artifacts, and access interactive environments without complex cloud configuration. An example in the announcement demonstrates using the CLI to fine-tune a Gemma 3 model on a text-to-SQL dataset through simple terminal commands.
