As we wrote in our TPUv7 article, TPUv7 will have competitive perf per TCO verus Blackwell in 2025 for large labs but TPUv8 will have worse perf per TCO verus Rubin in EOY 2026/2027. We added an subway surfer video as some people don't have the attention span to...

Broadcom's CEO just exposed the real fight underneath Google's AI chip strategy. It is not Google versus Broadcom. It is Google and Broadcom trying to make Nvidia replaceable. Within two minutes at Bloomberg Tech, Hock Tan was asked whether Google bringing more chip design in house keeps him up at night. His exact words: "So we just compete against my own customer." Then he named the real enemy: "the real competitor facing all this is the GPU out of Nvidia." That is the part most people miss. Custom AI chips are not just cheaper GPUs. They are ownership claims. If Google owns the workload, the compiler stack, the cloud customer, and the TPU roadmap, Nvidia becomes a benchmark instead of the toll booth. But Broadcom is still in the room because independence is not binary. The hard part is not drawing a chip. The hard part is shipping generation after generation at scale, matching Nvidia's cadence, keeping networking tight, and making the whole system useful enough that developers do not care what silicon sits underneath. That is why Tan can say Google is trying to create customer owned tooling and still sound calm. Broadcom is not selling picks and shovels. It is selling the bridge out of Nvidia dependency. The numbers explain why this is suddenly a board level issue. Broadcom reported $22.2 billion of Q2 2026 revenue. Its AI semiconductor revenue hit $10.8 billion, up 143 percent year over year. For Q3, Broadcom guided AI semiconductor revenue to $16.0 billion, up more than 200 percent year over year. In the clip, Tan says Broadcom has exactly 6 custom AI accelerator customers. He says OpenAI has been engaged for over 2 years, its accelerator is already working in labs and data centers, and production is on track for late this year. That is the hidden mechanism: The AI labs are not becoming software companies with some chips attached. They are becoming capacity companies with model interfaces attached. Once your margin depends on tokens, latency, memory bandwidth, power contracts, packaging slots, networking gear, and a private accelerator schedule, the "model company" label starts to look like a costume. The precedent is Apple. Apple did not move into custom silicon because it wanted a cute chip branding story. It moved because the iPhone needed control over performance per watt, release cadence, and differentiation. A series chips in 2010. M1 in 2020. More than a decade of slowly pulling the bottleneck inside the company. But Apple still needed TSMC. That is the useful analogy for Google, OpenAI, and the other AI giants. They want Nvidia's margin pool. They want Nvidia's roadmap power. They want Nvidia's ability to decide who gets capacity first. But the first supplier they replace becomes the supplier they cannot live without. Broadcom is the customs officer at the border of private silicon. Second order consequence: AI company valuation will shift from model demos to infrastructure custody. Who owns the workload? Who controls the accelerator roadmap? Who has memory secured? Who can afford to keep a bad first generation alive long enough to get to the second and third? My bet: by the end of 2027, at least one major AI lab will be judged more by its custom chip execution than by its model benchmark lead. The model race is public. The margin race is being negotiated in silicon.

Gavin's takes on Microsoft, Google, Meta, & Amazon: Microsoft ($MSFT): "I like Satya, I admire him. He's an exceptional CEO, and I give him a lot of credit for the decisions he's made. But he did go from, "We're going to make Google dance," to being the product manager of Copilot in 3 years. The decision Satya is making now, which the market has punished him for, but I think is the right decision — who knows how fast Azure could be growing if they were willing to just sell GPUs to OpenAI. 'We're going to use our compute internally to make our own products better.' One reason Copilot was so bad, or has been so bad, is that there wasn't enough compute available. They're fixing that. He's making good decisions that are risky decisions, to position Microsoft for this world where frontier models are no longer API-accessible. It's a really courageous decision that I give him a lot of credit for. Microsoft probably would be an $800 stock today if they were using their GPUs to serve solely OpenAI and Anthropic's capacity instead of using them for their own products." Google ($GOOG): "Google was incredible last year because they had that TPU advantage, which is now gone. The reason I think they're still in a great position is they have the most compute of everyone. We talked about the value of installed bases being higher as a result of shortages — they have the biggest installed base of compute. Google I/O is this week. If they don't release something that even slightly leapfrogs OpenAI and/or Claude, that's interesting. It's not a disaster for Google, it's just interesting. Between the amount of data they have, the YouTube data, the amount of compute, the search business — Google's never not going to be in a good position. You see that with GCP going crazy." Meta ($META): "You've got to give Zuckerberg immense credit, for what he's done in terms of making Meta an AI-first company internally. He is the only one of those true internet giants to have done that. I give him a lot of credit for paying up when he did for contracts, that talent. And Muse was a really big upside surprise. It was the first model from MSL, and it's not on the Pareto frontier with xAI, Google's one entrant, OpenAI and Claude, but it's pretty close. That was very impressive to me. So Meta is in a better position — still not as strong of an absolute position as Google, but a better position." Amazon ($AMZN): "Amazon is in a really strong position because of Trainium. You're going to see real P&L efficiencies from robotics over the next 18 months in their retail business. I actually think Nova — their internal models are not where Muse is, but they're better than they get credit for. The two companies who are the most deeply engaged with startups are Amazon and Nvidia by a mile. It's going to end up being a pretty big advantage for Nvidia and Amazon — with Google right behind them — to have this engagement that you just don't see from these other hyperscalers."

Cerebras CEO: Frontier AI CEOs are “racing against their own sense of greatness… and there will be a massive data leak” “There will be a tornado, there will be a massive earthquake… and we have to steel ourselves in advance.” $CBRS CEO Andrew Feldman: “They're inventing this as they go, too. There's not a playbook. We say, ‘Oh, just put on guardrails.’ Well, they have to design the guardrails. The guardrails have an impact. So they're racing against competition. They're racing against their own sense of greatness. Which is maybe even the biggest driver here. And I think they're in earnest trying to think about how to do the right thing. And there will be a massive data leak. We know this. Warren Buffett talked about the reinsurance industry, that you know something bad's going to happen. You don't know when, but you gotta save up for it, right? You put money away for reinsurance. But there will be a tornado, there will be a massive earthquake. I mean, we know this, and we can do our best to plan, but there will be a massive breach, and we have to steel ourselves in advance. And we have to prepare ourselves for a future that is, in specific, unknown, but in general, we're pretty sure something's going to happen.” @jason: “Something will happen. And it's typically a black swan, right?” Feldman: “That’s right.” ------------------------------ Thanks to our partners for making this possible!
