We're launching two specialized TPUs for the agentic era.

Launch of two new TPU chips designed for the agentic era of AI. The TPU 8i is specialized for fast reasoning and execution of multi-step workflows by AI agents, while the TPU 8t is optimized for training complex models on a single, large memory pool. These chips, combined with purpose-built infrastructure, aim to enable highly responsive agentic AI for widespread use.

We're introducing two TPU chips to meet increasingly demanding AI workloads, including autonomous AI agents that work on your behalf to get things done. AI agents need to reason, plan and execute multi-step workflows. TPU 8i is designed specifically to enable AI agents to complete this very quickly to provide a good user experience. Complementing TPU 8i, TPU 8t is optimized for training and can run even the most complex models on a single, massive pool of memory. Along with our full-stack purpose-built infrastructure — from networking to data centers and energy-efficient operations — they create the underlying engine that will allow us to bring highly responsive agentic AI to the masses. To find out more, learn about how our TPUs are redefining what’s possible with AI.
