# {{ product_v6e }}

{{ product_v6e }} serves and trains transformer, text-to-image and convolutional models. Each chip has {{ v6e_tensorcores }} TensorCore and {{ v6e_sparsecores }} SparseCores, and a pod holds {{ v6e_chips_per_pod }} chips in a {{ v6e_topology }}.

Use the specification topic to size a slice, the configurations topic to choose a slice shape, and the VM types topic to see what each VM provides.
