Re:Julia on Google TPU: Shakespeare RNN by StefanKarpinski on Thursday February 28, 2019 @02:43AM (#19269706)
Numba compiling Python to PTX is absolutely "Python running on GPUs" and OpenACC is also "Fortran running on GPUs". If user code written in language X is compiled to target hardware Y then that is "X running on Y". This is fairly standard compiler terminology, not marketing speak. You specifically mentioned TensorFlow, which is NOT Python running on G/TPUs since the code that has neither Python's semantics nor its runtime.
