This basically tells me that Google have a new generation of TPUs that have arrived and they are giving us (researchers) the last generation. Not that I have nothing against this. 3-4 years ago, AWS made huge inroads in mind-share by giving us researchers tens of thousands of dollars in education grants for writing a half-page proposal. Google have learnt from them.

Your conclusion makes sense in the context of TFRC, but not when Google's creating a cloud offering that they hope people will pay for.
