Very nice library, but I hope they let us use GPUs in Google Cloud instead of CPUs soon. This is a big non-sense to me, they provide a good library but they don't provide a proper infrastructure to use it yet.

- jorgemf 10y agoThat is why I said yet. They are in alpha... https://cloud.google.com/gpu/ https://cloud.google.com/gpu/
- spankalee 10y agoYou're probably better off using Google Cloud Machine Learning, which might by running on the custom TPU accelerator (not sure).
- jorgemf 10y agoGPUs are in alpha and no news about TPUs, that is what doesn't make sense.
- davidmr 10y agoI've been spending several hours a day on it over the last couple weeks, and I'm really frustrated with their Cloud ML beta. I realize that beta means beta, but there's very little working code out there that runs properly (especially Google's sample code), and in many cases their documentation is either outdated or just plain missing. It just doesn't feel like it's baked, even for one of their betas.
- jldugger 10y agoIIRC, their plan is to offer custom TPU instances.
- jorgemf 10y agoI know, but doesn't make sense to offer them in a couple of years. When we already have TensorFlow running in GPUs in amazon or other companies. Actually we made numbers in my company and Amazon GPUs are cheaper than Google Cloud with the current pricing. I am talking about more than 10 million inferences a day.
- rco8786 10y agoIt's not non-sense. They're two different things that are/were in beta. They will eventually work together(likely sooner than later) but just because they didn't on day 0 doesn't make it fundamentally broken.
- jorgemf 10y agoTensorFlow has been in beta for a year, GPU instances have been in alpha for a couple of months and there are no news about TPUs. It is bronken since I have all the infrastructure in amazon, so why I am going to move everything to Google in a year when the GPUs are ready?
