    "714892": "**UPDATE on 2/11/2020**: Quota and Coupon request submissions are closed at this time. We have, however just released a [TPU integration on Kaggle Notebooks](https://www.kaggle.com/product-feedback/129828)! If you're curious about TPUs, I recommend that you review that post and give them a try.\n\nWe are offering Cloud TPU Quota for entrants in this competition! Requests can be made by [submitting this form](https://www.kaggle.com/Deepfake-GCP-Credits-TPU) by **February 10, 2020**. We've coupled this with an option to receive a $200 GCP coupon to offset some of the non-TPU costs you may incur while trying TPUs (storage, CPU, other services, etc.)\n\nWith the [release of TF2.1](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/releases), TPU support with Keras greatly improves developer productivity while taking advantage of performance boosts that TPUs are already known for. If you've been curious about TPUs, now would be a great opportunity to give them a try. With the size of this competition's dataset, participants could benefit from the processing power of TPUs.\n\nThe fine print, also included on the request form:\n- You must complete the pre-requisite setup steps listed on the form in order to receive quota.\n- Only one person per team will be issued a TPU quota. This will be verified and multiple requests from the same team will be de-duplicated.\n- If you are eligible, your request will be fulfilled by February 17, 2020. Distribution will **not** be immediate. We will complete disbursements in 2 rounds, so you may expect to wait a couple weeks before receiving an email that confirms your quota has been provisioned and/or with your coupon. I will post to this thread when each distribution has been made.",
    "733180": "@juliaelliott , the TPU quota is given for 60 days, which ends roughly a week before the competition deadline. Would be helpful if the quota can be extended until the competition deadline. Kindly consider.",

    "743428": "Thank you all for your interest in Cloud TPUs &amp; GCP Coupons! We've closed the submission form and have filtered the list to those who have made a submission to the competition.\n\nWe have already started to provision **TPU quota**. You can expect to receive an e-mail from the TFRC (TensorFlow Research Cloud) team that confirms you have been provisioned access, and the details of what the pool contains. \n- If you were eligible, but there was an issue with a prerequisite or invalid information submitted, you should have received an e-mail from me, which you must respond to and resolve in order to receive quota. \n- If you were expecting to receive quota (and can confirm you made a submission to the competition) but haven't received an e-mail RE: TPUs, you should check your spam folder and reach out via this thread if you don't see anything from TFRC or me.\n\n**GCP Coupons** will be distributed later this week, once we've issued them internally. This will come in the form of an e-mail from Kaggle. Please verify that you have subscribed to Kaggle's e-mails in order to receive the coupon distribution email from us. You can re-subscribe by:\n- Finding an old marketing e-mail from us, find “Unsubscribe from our emails”, then click on “Resubscribe\"\n- Logging in to Kaggle.com, then access My Account and click “Edit” to make sure that Email Preferences check box is checked, then “Save”.",

You have until **February 10th** to [make requests here](https://www.kaggle.com/Deepfake-GCP-Credits-TPU)!",
