 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed `DummyLogger.log_hyperparams` raising a `TypeError` when running with `fast_dev_run=True` ([#6398](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/6398))
+- Fixed error on TPUs when there was no `ModelCheckpoint` ([#6654](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/6654))
+- Fixed `trainer.test` freeze on TPUs ([#6654](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/6654))
