OpenAI chose TPUs. Meta’s sniffing around TPUs.
Meanwhile, AWS is duct-taping together press releases about Trainium like it’s a group project no one else showed up for.
Nobody’s using your chips, Jassy. Not even you.

Kirk’s murder is horrible and political violence is unacceptable.
But he was not a “conservative” talking “common sense”. TPUS is not best known for getting the vote out.
We can condemn the killing without sanitising his views and actions.

they do not exclusively commit to any one specific hardware. they're fully agnostic. they'll use trainium/inferentia. they'll use google tpus. they'll use nvidia cards. they're designing their own hw if hiring is to be believed.
they're trying to shift capex into opex on tokens.

This piece talks about Anthropic a great deal, Google...to an extent? I honestly do not believe that TPUs or Trainium are going to vastly change things.

Sounds very interesting. You’ve done a lot on NVIDA recently, is there a plan to do a similar dive on other companies and their actions i.e Google, Anthropic, Alibaba and other companies you haven’t put under the microscope until now?

This was a lot of fun to write, and @matthewhughes.bsky.social taught me so much about Hock Tan and the history of this weird and nasty company. It's also crazy how much they're gambling on AI - potentially as much as $135bn in off-balance-sheet debt almost entirely for Anthropic's TPUs. Madness.
