At the moment we have been able to configure it manually in Colab to support running Julia and we can also use the GPU provided by Colab. However in my work environment I prefer to use VS-Code.

I would like to ask if it is possible to connect to Colab in a local VS-Code and use Colab’s GPU?

Hey there 👋, Eric from the Colab team. We just released an open source [VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Google.colab) for connecting notebooks in VS Code to Colab runtimes. Give it a try and let me know what you think - here, or on the GitHub repo’s [discussions](https://github.com/googlecolab/colab-vscode/discussions) or [issues](https://github.com/googlecolab/colab-vscode/issues).
