I tried asking this in the Show HN thread on that exact colab project, but how difficult would it be to set it up in your own local Jupyter notebook if you're okay using your own GPU?
Edit: Ah, I see in another thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22129978) that your GPU needs 11gb+ of VRAM to train the data, which my 1080 certainly doesn't have. A friend of mine works at https://spell.run which offers free trials for anyone interested in an alternative to Google. I may give it a shot this weekend.
My friend said he got it running on 8GB VRAM. But the first time he ran it, I think it wasn't even using his GPU (it took days instead of hours to train though).
