## Feature [Flex-start for Cloud TPU](https://cloud.google.com/tpu/docs/request-using-flex-start), powered by [Dynamic Workload Scheduler](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/introducing-dynamic-workload-scheduler), is available in [Preview](https://cloud.google.com/products?e=48754805&hl=en#product-launch-stages). Flex-start is a flexible and cost-effective consumption option for AI workloads. Flex-start enables you to dynamically provision TPUs for up to 7 days using the queued resources API, without long-term reservations. This option is ideal for quick experimentation, small-scale testing, dynamic inference provisioning, and model fine-tuning.
