Google Open-Sources TorchTPU to Help PyTorch Move to TPU
Understand the story
On October 21, 2026, Google announced on Tuesday that it is open-sourcing TorchTPU, allowing PyTorch applications to migrate to TPU and Google Cloud simply by changing configuration, with no need to rewrite code. The day before (Monday), Amazon released a similar tool, TorchNeuron, supporting PyTorch application migration to Trainium chips and AWS, and submitted code to the main PyTorch project to remove the default binding to Nvidia chips. The two cloud providers took actions in the PyTorch ecosystem back to back, jointly challenging Nvidia's dominance in that ecosystem. Both have now released their respective tools: Google open-sourced TorchTPU, while Amazon launched TorchNeuron and pushed the main PyTorch project to remove the default binding to Nvidia chips.
