Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fspecii/ace-step-ui/issues/54

I found Ace-Step can be used on Colab.
1.Go to this Google Colab Notebook: Notebook, Connect to a T4 GPU
2.Run all 3 cells and we'll see a public Gradio link to access the UI.
3.Change backend to PT (as VLLM is not supported), Disable CPU offloading and DiT offloading. Initialize service, then we can generate music.

I'm not good at programming. Forgive my ignorance, but can I use Ace-Step-UI on Colab?

@Huli-fox commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2026):

I asked Gemini:

If you use that beautiful NPM frontend, it will be very complicated on Colab because:
You need to install Node.js (apt install nodejs npm)
You need to run "npm install".
You need to run both the backend (the code above) and the frontend (npm run dev) simultaneously.
In Colab, only one blocking process can run in a single cell. You need to run the backend in the background, the frontend in the foreground, and open another Cloudflare tunnel for the frontend.

Too complex :(
