History

Historical Context

Google began building custom AI silicon in 2013, launching the first Tensor Processing Unit internally in 2015 and announcing it publicly in 2016. The TPU’s 15–30× performance advantage over CPUs and GPUs spurred rivals such as Nvidia and AWS to embed AI accelerators in their cloud fleets. Today’s $13 billion GPU-contract financing by Crusoe reflects that early hardware race.
