I should also add that the default provisioning for newer generation TPUs is ZERO, despite it not saying this anywhere on the sales pages. We had to dig deep to find this out. How do you get access? Not by talking to anyone at Google, but by filling out a Google Form. Yes, a Google Form. I spent many hours talking to everyone from support to executives at GCP. This is not an exaggeration. They all told me to fill out "the form." They said it "usually goes pretty fast." They don't even know the people or the department who approves it. It took us months to get provisioned. By that time my company completely lost interest as we cannot move that slow in the most competitive space in technological history. Also one last thing, we never even got notified once we were provisioned! There's no response to your form, you just have to keep checking. Just absolutely wild amateur stuff.
