## Summary

Andrew Curran says Google's AlphaChip figures come from a 2024 paper and have not been updated in over two years. He says Gemini is accelerating Google's AI hardware design work, which he says started well before others. Sundar Pichai says Google shipped four distinct TPU systems in one generation within a year, with hardware engineers co-designing alongside Google DeepMind.

Gemini is accelerating all of this. These numbers are from the AlphaChip paper in 2024. God knows what these numbers are now, they have not been updated in over two years. Google started leaning into the AI hardware design loop long before anyone.

## Quoted post @sundarpichai

> Four distinct TPU systems in a single generation in one year! Instead of waiting years for a traditional semiconductor cycle, hardware engineers co-designing systems alongside Google Deepmind means we can keep innovating quickly for customers.
