Google just bet its inference future on a chip built for one model

The New Stack 1 month ago 41 19 sources

Google is developing a specialized chip called Frozen v2 designed specifically for its Gemini AI model, which would hardwire parts of Gemini's architecture while keeping weights updatable. The chip is projected to deliver six to ten times more tokens per watt compared to Google's current AI chips. If successful, this approach could significantly reduce inference costs for developers using Gemini while establishing a trend toward model-specific silicon rather than general-purpose accelerators.

Google is working on a new AI chip designed to make Gemini more efficient

TechCrunch 1 month ago 35 19 sources

Google is developing a custom AI chip called Frozen v2 to run its Gemini models more efficiently, following a strategy shared by other AI companies seeking independence from Nvidia. The chip could deliver 6 to 10 times better efficiency per unit of power compared to Google's current AI chips, with a planned release in 2028. The news boosted investor confidence in Google's massive AI spending plans, sending the stock up 3% as the company aims to prove its $180–190 billion investment strategy will generate returns.
