CHEEKY PINT Assertion Supported
Pope: Google built TPUv1 in 12-18 months with 20-30 engineers
“TPUv one actually was, I think, is a really impressive project. It was done on a very short timeline, maybe, I don't know the full details, but maybe about a year or so, maybe a year and a half with a skeleton team of 20, 30 people.”

CHEEKY PINT Opinion
Pope: TPUv1 announcement catalyzed the 2016-2017 AI chip startup wave
“TPUv one was announced in 2016, I think. That was what actually kind of led to the creation of all of those 2016, 20 17 startups. So Cerebus, Gronk, Graphcore, SambaNova, all of those.”
