技术简介

TPU是配合开放软件设计的专用加速器，用于AI训练、推理与智能体多步推理。2
Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) are custom accelerators co-designed with open software to power the entire AI lifecycle—from frontier training and large-scale inference to the multi-step reasoning data demands of Agentic AI.

TPU已用于Gemini及Google的Search、Photos、Maps产品。2
They are the engine behind Gemini and Google’s flagship billion-user products, including Search, Photos, and Maps.
Anthropic使用Google TPU等AI硬件训练和运行Claude。3
We train and run Claude on a range of AI hardware—AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs—which means we can match workloads to the chips best suited for them.

2026年第三季度，TPU系统销售已成为Google Cloud收入增长的重要贡献项。4
TPU systems sales were also a meaningful contributor to revenue growth.
2026年4月协议约定Anthropic从2027年起通过博通获取约3.5吉瓦下一代TPU算力。1
Separately, Broadcom, Google and Anthropic PBC (“Anthropic”) have expanded their current strategic collaboration under which Anthropic, beginning in 2027, will access through Broadcom approximately 3.5 gigawatts as part of the multiple gigawatts of next generation TPU-based AI compute capacity committed by Anthropic.

博通与Google签约开发和供应未来代际TPU，并向Google下一代AI机架供应网络及其他组件。1
Broadcom Inc. (“Broadcom”) and Google LLC (“Google”) have entered into a Long Term Agreement for Broadcom to develop and supply custom Tensor Processing Units (“TPUs”) for Google’s future generations of TPUs and a Supply Assurance Agreement for Broadcom to supply networking and other components to be used in Google’s next-generation AI racks through up to 2031.

Anthropic使用扩增算力取决于其持续商业成功。1
The consumption of such expanded AI compute capacity by Anthropic is dependent on Anthropic’s continued commercial success.
