We're launching two specialized TPUs for the agentic era.
We're 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.
Complementing TPU 8i, TPU 8t is optimized for training and can run even the most complex models on a single, massive pool of memory.
Along with our full-stack purpose-built infrastructure — from networking to data centers and energy-efficient operations — they create the underlying engine that will allow us to bring highly responsive agentic AI to the masses.
To find out more, learn about how our TPUs are redefining what’s possible with AI.
