Google's TPUs gain traction for AI workloads

Google's custom AI chips, TPUs, are gaining significant traction outside the company for training and running AI models. This momentum is highlighted by a major deal with Anthropic, securing them over a gigawatt of computing power, equivalent to up to 1 million TPUs, valued in the tens of billions of dollars. The agreement addresses the high demand and cost of Nvidia's chips, showcasing the growing viability of Google's decade-old TPU technology for AI workloads.
