A sentence that reads "I am going to eat nothing but vegetables from now on" doesn't mention meat, but you can infer that I won't eat meat again from the sentence.
A sentence that says Google are going all in on nVidea GPUs for AI doesn't need to mention TPUs to convey information about their future either.

TBF, there is no mention of anything remotely similar to "I am going to eat nothing but vegetables from now on".
Sure. That's why I mentioned multiple ways in which the article could have been relevant to TPUs, which you chose not to quote. But it didn't have any of those either. The sentence you're offering up as a demonstration is just something you made up that does not appear in the article.
If anything, this just reinforces the point I was making. There is nothing at all in the article supporting this narrative. So, where is this coming from? Why are you so intent on this idea that you're reduced to fabricating support for it?
At the very least we know that there's a team in Google that chose to build an AI supercomputer with non-Google hardware. They didn't, or wouldn't, work with the TPU team to do it, or they did and the TPU team couldn't get it to work. Or they could but something still made nVidia hardware more compelling. Every level of management involved were persuaded that this was the case even knowing it would send a message to people outside of Google about TPUs.
Andnfrom.all that we're meant to say it infers nothing about TPUs?
