Does anyone have more details on the Google.ai announcement? It looks like the race has officially begun.

https://www.google.ai/tools/cloud-tpus/

They are talking about: (1) cloud TPUs (2) TF research cloud (3) TPU pods (some kind of giant ML supercomputers).

Some useful links:
Cloud TPUs: https://cloud.google.com/tpu/
TensorFlow Research Cloud: https://www.tensorflow.org/tfrc/
Google.ai: https://google.ai/tools/cloud-tpus/
Mailing list: tpu-help@google.com

Really interesting. I was surprised to see the announcement that the TPU cloud platform can be used for both training and inference.

Most in depth commentary I’ve seen.
