They say that they make use of GPUs. Anybody know if this means GPU VMs are coming to google compute engine? That would be amazing. AWS GPU instances are popular but somewhat limited as they use older hardware.

Seems it hasn't been fully release yet, getting a 404 on https://cloud.google.com/ml/docs/ nor can I find it in GCP console. This provides slightly more information. https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/03/Google-takes-Cl...

Access to this API (and docs) is currently invite-only. Sign up for the limited preview: https://services.google.com/fb/forms/machinelearningpreview/

Interesting to see the speech, vision API among others. I wonder what this means for metamind, clarifai and many other startups offering an API for doing something close?

Pretty nice model and makes sense why they OSed Tensorflow: write, train using the API, and feel safe that you can run it on your own hardware as well.

Tried to sign up for the Speech API, but could not find the Google Cloud Platform user id. Would love to integrate this with our transcription editor.

You should see the (pile of numbers) project id when you visit https://console.cloud.google.com in the upper left inset. Alternatively, at any place in the console you can hit the Settings gear and select Project Info (which should have both your numeric project number as well as your alphanumeric project identifier).
