#2> A single TPU 8t superpod now scales to 9,600 chips and two petabytes of shared high bandwidth memory, with double the interchip bandwidth of the previous generation. This architecture delivers 121 ExaFlops of compute and allows the most complex models to leverage a single, massive pool of memory.
This seems impressive. I don't know much about the space, so maybe it's not actually that great, but from my POV it looks like a competitive advantage for Google.

#3That cooling system looks crazy. What an unbelievable density.

#4As others have been capturing news cycle eyes, seems to me Google has been going from strength to strength quietly in the background capturing consumer market share and without much (any?) infrastructure problems considering they're so vertically integrated in AI since day one? At one point they even seemed like a lost cause, but they're like a tide.. just growing all around.

#5If ai ends up having a winner I struggle to see how it doesn’t end with Google winning because they own the entire stack, or Apple because they will have deployed the most potentially AI capable edge sites.

#6The real problem is that scientists doing this sort of early work more often than not want to burn hardware under their desks. Renting infrastructure in Google cloud isn't the only way...

#8I am curious what workloads Citadel Securities is running on these TPUs? Are you telling me they need the latest TPUs for market insights?

you've never tried to use gemini 3 I guess - that thing was so unreliable it might as well not be offered; there's also a reason why everybody here is excited for claude and codex, but not really for antigravity.
that said, I actually agree: google IMHO silently dominates the 'normie business' chatbot area. gemini is low key great for day to day stuff.
