Lack of Support for .cu and .cuh CUDA Code File Formats in AI Studio

Hello, I am a researcher and project developer working on large-scale CUDA C++ projects. One major issue I have encountered while continuing my projects is that AI Studio does not support the .cu and .cuh file formats used for CUDA code.

Because of this, I have to save all of these files as .txt files every time, sometimes with more than 10 separate .txt files, and keep them updated. This means I have to keep track of both the original .cu and .cuh files in Visual Studio and the corresponding .txt files for AI Studio so that I can send them to the model each time.

Because of this workflow, the chances of making mistakes increase significantly, and a considerable amount of project time is spent simply managing and synchronizing files.

The CUDA code itself is not a problem for the model. It can read the code perfectly fine when it is stored in .txt files; the only issue is that the .cu and .cuh file formats are not supported.

I kindly ask the Google team to look into this issue and consider fixing it in a future update.

Best regards
