Jeff Dean: ML chip design requires predicting research workloads 2-6 years out
“As a hardware designer for ML in particular, you're trying to design a chip starting today And that design might take two years before it even lands in a data center, and then it has to sort of be a reasonable lifetime of the chip to take you three, four, or f…”

Patel: Google will buy tons of GPUs through 2027 due to TPU limits
“When we look in 26, Google would buy a lot more TPUs, but they can't ramp production fast enough, right? And so they have to buy tons of GPUs. And we go to 27, it applies again, right? Google simply cannot buy enough TPUs, and they have to buy tons of GPUs.”

Lie: AMD, Trainium, and TPU are all trying to build a better Nvidia Rubin
“AMD, Tranium, in many ways TPU, like all of these in my mind are all trying to build a better Reuben, right? And there's a huge amount of value in that.”
