Before starting one of the Cloud TPU VM quickstarts, see Introduction to Cloud TPU which gives an overview of working with Cloud TPUs.
Follow the instructions in Set up the Cloud TPU environment to prepare to create a Cloud TPU.
The VM and slice quickstarts provide a brief introduction to working with Cloud TPU VMs using JAX and PyTorch. These topics explain how to install a machine learning (ML) framework and run a sample application on a Cloud TPU VM.
