Google's new AI supercomputer is 'a unique approach to AI development, claims expert

Google recently announced they have developed a unique artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer that is faster, more efficient, and more powerful than NVIDIA systems. Nvidia is the reigning champion of AI model training and deployment, dominating over 90% of the market, according to CNBC. The great AI race has been raging on for a while now in Big Tech, and Google has been developing AI chips called Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) since 2016. "Google has chosen a unique approach to AI development by creating its own'Tensor Processing Unit' (TPU) architecture, rather than relying on specialised GPUs [graphic processing units] from Nvidia," founder of Elo AI, Matt Falconer explains. "This decision allows Google to reduce their dependence on third-party vendors and achieve vertical integration across its entire AI stack," Falconer added.
