Cloud TPU

A Cloud TPU is a specialized computer chip designed by Google to accelerate machine learning tasks. Think of it as a high-performance engine optimized for processing large amounts of data quickly, making complex AI models run faster and more efficiently. Instead of using regular servers, organizations can access these powerful chips via the internet (the cloud), without needing to own or maintain the hardware. This allows researchers and developers to train AI models more rapidly, enabling advancements in everything from language understanding to image recognition, with cost and flexibility benefits.
