Was the TPU physical design team also taken in? And also MediaTek? And also TF-Agents, which publicly said they re-produced the AlphaChip method and results exactly?

What did the TPU physical design team say about this publicly? Can you also point to a statement from MediaTek? (I've seen a quote in Google blog, but was unable to confirm it). Who in the TF-agents team has serious physical design background?

Are you really suggesting that the TPU team does not stand behind the graphs in Google's own blog post? And that MediaTek does not stand behind their quoted statement?

How would I know either way?

Someone mentioned here before that Google folks have been using "hyperbolae". So, if MediaTek can clarify how they are using AlphaChip, everyone wins.
