From silicon to softmax: Inside the Ironwood AI stack
As machine learning models continue to scale, a specialized, co-designed hardware and software stack is no longer optional, it’s critical. Ironwood, our latest generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), is the cutting-edge hardware behind advanced models like Gemini and Nano Banana, from massive-scale training to high-throughput, low-latency inference. This blog details the core components of Google’s …
