Google launches new AI chips for agentic era

Google has introduced its next generation of Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), specifically designed to meet the demands of the emerging "agentic era" in artificial intelligence. This new lineup actually consists of two distinct chips. One TPU is optimized for inference tasks, which involve running AI models to make predictions or decisions. The second TPU is engineered for training AI models, a computationally intensive process that requires significant processing power. This dual-chip approach aims to provide enhanced performance and efficiency for Google's AI development and deployment efforts.
