This is certainly interesting, but doesn't seem quite like what I want. It only seems to offer "Edge TPUs" which...

Clearly; they're tiny and for embedded applications.
They even wrote "The products offered by Google are unrelated to the products offered under the CORAL trademarks" in the page footer.

These things come with a lot of limitations, like not being able to work with 4D and larger tensors, plus the 8 bit quantization. Getting models to run on them is a real pain.
