For Google with TPUs, the revenue comes from search.
Google won't fail if TPUs fail.
That's right.
Meta won't fail if MTIA fails.
Microsoft won't fail if Maya fails.
And OpenAI won't fail if Jalapeno fails.
Ultimately, this is our product.
It is completely unsurprising that the best chip in the world is built by a company that only builds that chip.
It's Nvidia.
And for us, it is completely existential for us to get as much token capacity online as possible.
It recruits a set of talent and recruits the support from suppliers and from customers that view it with the level of intensity that we do.
I think a lot of our story is like, as Gavin says, assume it is possible.
Assume it is possible to have a chip with way more flops on it.
Assume it is possible to have a system with way lower latency between chips.
Assume it is possible to create a shared memory pool that can run at way higher bandwidths.
How would one do it?
A lot of the time when we do experiments, we will do dozens of experiments and all of them will fail.
But we only need one to work.
There was multiple times, I mean, Gavin, I think, was leading the charge and our chip bring up with, I think, 30 different board experiments.
And three of them worked.
