Google has released the Colab CLI, an open-source command-line tool that lets developers and AI agents interact with remote Colab runtimes directly from a local terminal. It supports provisioning GPUs and TPUs, executing Python scripts remotely, downloading artifacts, retrieving notebook logs, and opening interactive sessions — all without touching the Colab web interface. The tool includes a predefined skill file enabling AI agents to automate ML workflows end-to-end, such as fine-tuning a model on a T4 GPU and retrieving outputs. It is comparable to Modal, RunPod, and Kaggle CLI but is tightly integrated with Colab's notebook and artifact ecosystem.
