Posts like this underscore why the smart money is betting on Google as the long term AI winner. Meta, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc. are trying to address problems with consumer video cards and spending billions to try and out bid each other to win Nvidia's favor - while Google is on their 6th generation of custom silicon.

Literally the only thing that can stop Google now is the fact they keep bringing Microsoft and Oracle flunkies into leadership positions.

How do TPUs perform compared to GPUs on LLMs and image generation?

Google has been working on TPUs and Tensorflow for a decade with pretty mixed success; I don't think it's clear that they're going to win.

Do you really think Google’s hardware expertise is better than Nvidia’s?

If needed these other companies have the $$$ to buy the best chips money can buy from Nvidia. Better chips than Google could ever produce.

If anything, this is why IMO Google will fail.
