How Google’s TPUs power increasingly demanding AI workloads.

Behind the Google products you use every day are custom chips designed for one job: doing math at massive scale. They’re called TPUs, or Tensor Processing Units.

Google designed TPUs from the ground up more than a decade ago specifically to run AI models.

Google is introducing two TPU chips to meet increasingly demanding AI workloads, including autonomous AI agents that work on your behalf to get things done.

AI agents need to reason, plan and execute multi-step workflows. TPU 8i is designed specifically to enable AI agents to complete this very quickly to provide a good user experience.
