I'm glad this all worked out for you. This is unrelated, but I just want to say that I hate how many people Google managed to convert to TPU with their research program and that their managed TPU/GPU offerings are absolutely horrible and infuriating to work with unless you somehow get on their radar.
- rg111 5y agoI have never used TRC, but I heard from many that if you reach out to them, they are really helpful. I have not converted to TPU, because it is literally offered by only one company. It will be the height of "vendor lock-in". But, I must say that JAX on TPU is faster than anything and everything that I have ever seen.
