At PyTorch Conference 2026, Google and Meta jointly open-sourced TorchTPU, a native PyTorch backend for Google's TPUs, simplifying model porting and enabling large-scale LLM workloads on TPUs. The new backend replaces PyTorch/XLA and supports Hugging Face models and major inference engines out of the box.
