It's design is pretty specific to Google's TPU.

If you ran it elsewhere, you'd likely need to tweak the design or suffer quite a big performance penalty.

Nope, probably not. It's using JAX, which works on both GPUs and TPUs.

All the constants in the design will be tuned to fit perfectly in TPU hardware dimensions.
