Summary:

Google's having quite the week, aren't they? Fresh off launching Gemini 3 and absolutely dominating the AI headlines, they're now properly shaking up the hardware game by selling their TPU chips to Meta and Anthropic. This is massive because for years, Nvidia has been the only game in town for training AI models—they hit 5 trillion in market cap basically by being everyone's sole supplier of GPUs. But Google's been quietly building their own Tensor Processing Units, trained Gemini 3 on them, and now they're opening the doors to everyone else. Anthropic's already expanding their TPU usage significantly, and Meta's in talks for what could be a billion-dollar deal. The shift from general-purpose GPUs to specialized TPUs is genuinely fascinating—they're more efficient, cheaper to run, and apparently better at the specific maths required for training language models.

Meanwhile, Trump's just launched something called the Genesis Mission, which the US Secretary of Energy is comparing to the Manhattan Project and Apollo missions—so, you know, no pressure. They're essentially handing over $200 billion worth of federal scientific research data to an AI system, which is honestly audacious bordering on wild. This comes straight from America's AI Action Plan, which is very openly about countering China in the AI race. I don't know who's building this AI or how it'll actually work, and frankly we might be laughing at this in a month, but I do appreciate the sheer ambition of it. It's a proper "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" moment, and whether it's brilliant or a complete mess, it's certainly going to be interesting to watch unfold.
