Google has open-sourced TorchTPU, letting developers run PyTorch workloads natively on TPU hardware with minimal code changes — covering both training and serving, with integrations into inference stacks like vLLM and SGLang.
The move signals increasingly flexible AI infrastructure: beyond NVIDIA GPUs, developers now have an open-source TPU path, heating up the AI compute competition.
