What it is
Google's TPU is the most mature custom AI accelerator, now in its Trillium (v6e) and Ironwood (v7) generations, powering Gemini training and Google Cloud AI workloads at massive scale via Optical Circuit Switch pods. TPUs are co-designed by Google and Broadcom and fabricated at TSMC, giving Google the strongest in-house alternative to Nvidia GPUs. In 2025 external demand grew as labs like Anthropic committed to large TPU capacity, making TPU a genuine competitive counterweight.

Amounts keep the filing's own wording (at least, up to, about). They are not added up: a compute commitment, a lease and an equity round are different kinds of money.

Times are New York time. Free sources are pulled on the schedule shown by the pipeline runner (data/corpus/run_pipelines.py), which logs every run; paid sources run only with the owner's yes; filings and newsroom pages are re-read when a new document is filed.
Links come from the AI Systems Map ontology. Deals carry the filing's own wording and a quote, checked against the document; latest source 2026-10-26. Not investment advice.
