> second tier TPU allocation What exactly does this mean?

  Probably that there are already several generations of TPU hardware - the best ones go to internal use, while the older hardware gets rented out to gcp to amortize the development costs.

    That's correct. Unless Zuck is OK with using one-generation older TPU, which is a possibility.
