**💻📰 [Ironwood: The first Google TPU for the age of inference](https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)** Google is introducing Ironwood, its seventh-generation Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), at Google Cloud Next '25. This new TPU is designed specifically for AI inference and is described as the most powerful, capable, and energy-efficient TPU to date. Ironwood marks a shift towards AI models that proactively generate insights, rather than simply providing real-time information for human interpretation. It aims to power these thinking, inferential AI models at scale, building on over a decade of TPU development for both Google's internal needs and its Cloud customers. The main takeaway is that Google is prioritizing and advancing AI inference capabilities with a custom-built accelerator, signaling a move towards more proactive and insightful AI applications.
