      Did you by chance fail to read who builds these things?

    Where's the watt/token or $/token figures for each of these?

    And how does each compare to their NVDA price equivalent?

    /sarcasm at the unoriginal naming scheme

    Typical Google. A literal headline “Opening up TPUs to every developer” but zero information or links on how I, a developer, can use said TPUs.

      At the very least they can let us know when they plan to suddenly abandon support for them.

      You know like the Google TPUs I own that are now useless.

    A product announcement page with 0 links to purchase or ways to purchase is useless.
