Based on the going rate of a 32-core TPUv3 slice ($32/hr USD) running "for a few weeks", isn't this closer to $65k USD?

One could buy 200 GPUs for cheaper, I think that's where the other comment's price estimate came from.

It says $1,752/mo for v3-8, so I just multiplied it 8x.

Fair enough, that calculation is still a bit off if they used 128 cores (16x instead of 8x). Not that it really matters...
