From GPU to TPU with Coding Agents: What Works, What Fails, and What It Costs?

The study investigates whether coding agents can reliably migrate PyTorch machine learning projects from GPUs to TPUs. Using Claude Code, ten projects were migrated, with eight meeting the project‑goal criterion but 76% of execution attempts failing, often due to compilation issues or silent changes in computation. The research highlights significant human effort (average 2.4 interventions) and variable costs, noting that while some TPUs can be faster and cheaper, failures and accuracy drops remain common.

Democratizing MoE inference on commodity GPUs with CoMoE

The paper introduces CoMoE, a communication‑efficient Mixture‑of‑Experts inference system designed for commodity GPUs. By using host‑centric routing, host‑backed token multicast, and fine‑grained token‑level aggregation, CoMoE reduces communication volume and eliminates global synchronization stalls. Experiments on RTX 5090 GPUs show up to 1.46× throughput improvement, approaching NVLink‑capable A800 performance while costing only 23.4% of the hardware.
