The post highlights a growing trend among AI companies: pushing more of the model logic onto chips and building custom silicon alongside software to improve efficiency.
It cites a report that Google is developing a new AI chip, codenamed Frozen, which could be 6–10x more efficient than its current TPUs. The quoted note says Frozen would embed Gemini-related decisions directly into the chip and would be a new custom-silicon branch rather than a TPU replacement.
