Well you'll be glad to know that PyTorch is available (in development form) on the TPU: https://github.com/pytorch/xla

If it's "available" but doesn't do anything useful, it's IMO not really "available". It's a good start though. I hope they don't throttle it in favor of TF because that'd only prolong TF's agony.

I think this is pretty unfair.

I know a bunch of PyTorch using people who have switched back to TF 2.0, and that is ignoring things like the Swift TF implementation.

The deployment story around TF is a lot better too.
