A special AI chip built to run machine learning math fast.
A TPU is like the fry cook at a packed diner. It does one job, but the fries fly out by the bucket.
It runs big AI training and AI answers. You usually meet it in cloud data centers. It is built to be fast. It saves power. It works in huge packs.
GPU
Both can run AI work, but a TPU is more specialized.
AI chip
A TPU is an AI chip built for machine learning.
AI data center
TPUs often sit in data centers for large training and inference jobs.
Compute-race
Stronger TPUs make the compute race heat up.
