So AlphaGo Zero used 4 TPUs while AlphaZero used 1500. It’s not immediately obvious to me why there is this massive difference. Can anyone elaborate?

  Both used 4 TPUs at playing time. At training time, AlphaGo Zero used unspecified amount of computing resource, AlphaZero used 5000 TPUs for self-play.

    Ah, thanks for clearing that up! Makes sense.
