It’s so ridiculous to see TPUs being compared to NVIDIA GPUs. IMO proprietary chips such as TPU had no future sure to the monopoly on the cloud services. There is no competition across the cloud services providers. The only way to access TPUs is through GCP. As the result nobody wants to use them regardless of the technology. This is the biggest fault of GCP. Further the road, the gap between NVIDIA GPUs and Google TPUs (call it „moat“ or CUDA) is going to grow. The opposite situation is with AMD which are avoiding the mistakes of Google. My hope though is that AMD doesn’t start to compete with cloud service providers, e.g. by introducing their own cloud. | ||||||||

TPUs will thrive regardless of public adoption; Google's internal demand for TPU is such that they could buy every TPU ever produced. | ||||||||
