Google's newly - developed in - house artificial intelligence infrastructure is drawing the keen interest of external customers. According to reports, the tech giant has rolled out two brand - new eighth - generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). These TPUs are specifically designed to cater to large - scale model training and massive inference scenarios respectively. Among these innovations, the TPUv8ax, codenamed "Sunfish," is exclusively engineered for training large models like Gemini. On the other hand, the TPUv8x, codenamed "Zebrafish," is optimized for cloud - based large - scale model inference. Together, they form a well - structured internal acceleration platform.
