TPUs Drive Google’s Machine Learning Scale and Cloud Capabilities
By
–
It's really great to see the impact that TPUs have had and continue to have on Google's ability to do machine learning training and inference at scale, and to provide that same capability to @googlecloud customers via Cloud TPUs. Here's a bit of backstory on how they came to be.

Scaling Laws: Training Duration and Model Size Optimization
By
–
For how long should you train your language model? How large should your model be? Research from @DbrxMosaicAI proposes a modified scaling law that quantifies the training-inference trade-off – producing models that are optimal over their total lifetime. https://
