Amin Vahdat, GM of AI and Infrastructure at Google Cloud, revealed that Google's TPUs from 7 or 8 years ago are still seeing 100% utilization today.\n\nThis illustrates the Jevons Paradox in full swing across the AI compute landscape: as hardware becomes more efficient and daily breakthroughs occur, overall demand for compute explodes rather than shrinks. Every available chip is currently being put to work to meet the massive scaling needs of AI.
