Ability to use on Google Colab

[sr5434]

Request

The ability to use mojo in Google Colab once Mojo reaches general availability.

Motivation

Many ML enthusiasts use Google Colab to train their models. They can benefit from the code speedups that come with using Mojo.

Description and Requirements

Users should be able to download Mojo in Colab and use it without issue.

Cool, it would be great to see this as mojo matures! Right now we are using this bug tracker for language and compiler bugs, so I’m going to close this for now. Thank you!

Oh, ok

[OtwellResearch]

Not only would developers benefit from a Mojo Colab - Google would benefit because the training wouldn't take as long. ;) Or is that true? Would Mojo improve GPU performance?

[sr5434]

I’m not completely sure, but things like function autotuning might help improve performance.

I am looking forward a way to test Mojo in Colab, but I guess this will come when Mojo becomes Open Source. For now, it seems the Modular playground is the only way to test Mojo (but it seems that the Python libraries we can import there, are limited). Does anyone has a timeline for Mojo being open source?

maybe we need to report the issue as "

!pip install mojo

is not working in Gogle Colab " : ) See the error report:

Lol. It looks like the package was a hackathon project from a few years back. Maybe the pip package(if one is ever released) should be called mojo-lang.
