# Integrating TorchTPU into TorchTitan and Optimizing Models for TPU

## Retrieval answer

Google published a technical account of integrating TorchTPU into a TorchTitan fork for training models on Google Cloud TPUs.

Google published a technical account of integrating TorchTPU into a TorchTitan fork for training models on Google Cloud TPUs. The post says TorchTPU exposes a native `torch.device("tpu")` backend in PyTorch, while the fork adds TPU-oriented training recipes and execution paths.

The account highlights SimpleFSDP, which expresses parameter sharding through DTensor parametrization so collectives appear in the traced graph, and Graph Trainer, which captures a full training step. Google reports 29%+ Model Flops Utilization on Qwen3 235B for this path. That figure is a vendor-reported result tied to the described workload and setup, not evidence of general performance parity across models or deployments.
