Excellent work. Do you have plans to open source the scripts/implementation details used to reproduce the results? Would be great if others can also validate and repeat the experiment for future software updates (e.g. TensorFlow 1.8) as I expect there will be some performance gain for both TPU and GPU by CUDA and TensorFlow optimizations.

Sidenote: Love the illustrations that accompany most of your blog posts, are they drawn by an in-house artist/designer?

Happy you like the post! The implementations we used are open source (we reference the specific revisions), so reproducing results is possible right now. We haven't thought about publishing our small scripts around that (there's not much to it), but it's a good idea. There's also work towards benchmarking suites like DAWNBench (https://dawn.cs.stanford.edu/benchmark/).

The illustrations are from an artist/designer we contract from time to time. I agree, his work is awesome!
