Google Open-Sources TorchTPU, Challenging NVIDIA's AI Ecosystem Dominance
Bollcoin, October 21 — According to the official Google Cloud blog, Google announced the open-sourcing of TorchTPU at PyTorch Conference 2026. The project was jointly developed by Google and Meta's PyTorch team, and the code has been published on GitHub. TPU thus becomes a native PyTorch hardware option alongside GPU and CPU, and existing code can be migrated with only minor modifications. Frameworks such as vLLM, SGLang, TorchTitan, VeRL, and Ray have already been integrated. In Hugging Face Transformers v5, passing device_map="tpu" allows models to be deployed to TPU.
