The TensorFlow Research Cloud (TFRC) program enables researchers to apply for access to a cluster of more than 1,000 Cloud TPUs. In total, this cluster delivers a total of more than 180 petaflops of raw compute power! Researchers accepted into the TFRC program can use these Cloud TPUs at no charge to accelerate the next wave of open research breakthroughs.

Participants in the TFRC program will be expected to share their TFRC-supported research with the world through peer-reviewed publications, open source code, blog posts, or other means. They should also be willing to share detailed feedback with Google to help us improve the TFRC program and the underlying Cloud TPU platform over time. In addition, participants accept Google's Terms and Conditions, acknowledge that their information will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and agree to conduct their research in accordance with the Google AI principles.
