Google is teaming up with Meta to create “TorchTPU,” a software initiative designed to help developers transition from Nvidia's hardware to Google's TPUs while using the PyTorch framework. This collaboration aims to reduce reliance on Nvidia's software tools. Google is also planning to sell TPUs worth billions to Meta.

Google’s new Ironwood TPUs are set to compete closely with Nvidia's latest GPUs, offering impressive performance and scalability. With up to 9,216 chips per pod, these TPUs leverage a unique 3D torus topology for efficient communication, positioning Google as a formidable player in the AI hardware space.

Anthropic has partnered with Google to access up to one million Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) in a deal worth tens of billions of dollars, significantly expanding its AI compute capacity. The company, which has seen rapid revenue growth, leverages a multi-cloud architecture that includes partnerships with both Google and Amazon to optimize performance and cost, while maintaining control over its model and data.
