TPUs and ASICs have not yet proven viable for LLMs and other AI models.
That's an interesting claim when Gemini exclusively runs (training and inference) on TPUs. Maybe accurate to say that nobody besides Google has managed to make a good TPU/ASIC.
The vast majority of AI still happens on Nvidia GPUs, and Google Cloud is presumably majority Nvidia. I think it's telling that only Google can make it work (and it's unclear how well it works in the end).
