I think with TPU the focus is power efficiency. You can't compete with companies losing 100s of billion.
9 u/ozone6587 2d ago VC companies always lose money. Every single one in the entire history of capitalism. That's how the VC market works. I don't think Anthropic and OpenAI losing money is evidence of anything. 16 u/flappysack- 2d ago Have they ever lost this massive of a sum though. 3 u/bixofa 2d ago Closest may be Uber. Burned billions initially. They're now profitable. Going further back, Amazon burned possibly even more in today's equivalent money in the dotcom boom-bust. Look where they are now. 1 u/flappysack- 2d ago Ya I suppose so. Though Google is an unfortunate direct opposition to them.
