Google Splits AI Chips Into Two Specialists: New TPU 8t and 8i Target Training vs. Inference

Google發表TPU 8t與8i，AI晶片走向訓練與推論分工

Google just announced its 8th-generation Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) at Cloud Next, and here's the plot twist: they're finally splitting the chip lineup. Instead of one jack-of-all-trades processor, you now get TPU 8t for training AI models and TPU 8i for running them in production. The move targets the growing demand for agentic AI—systems that need to think fast and respond instantly. It's basically Google saying "we're doubling down on AI infrastructure" while making sure every workload gets the right tool for the job.

OpenAI's ad partner is now selling ChatGPT ad placements based on what you actually ask

OpenAI just partnered with an ad company that's figured out how to show you ads inside ChatGPT based on what you're typing. So if you're asking ChatGPT how to fix your kitchen sink, you might see ads for plumbing services. Sounds convenient on the surface, but here's the thing—it means someone's literally reading your prompts to decide what ads to throw at you. This is basically the same playbook Google and Facebook use, except now it's happening in the AI chatbot you thought was just helping you with homework. The ad company claims they're not storing your actual prompts, just analyzing them to figure out what category you're in. Whether you buy that or not is up to you, but it's definitely a sign that ChatGPT is becoming less of a helpful tool and more of an ad delivery system. If you're paying for ChatGPT Plus, you might want to check if this affects you too.

Meta is now tracking everything employees do on their computers to train AI agents

Meta has started installing a surveillance tool called Model Capability Initiative (MCI) on US employees' computers that records mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots across work apps and websites. The company says this data won't be used for performance reviews, but rather to train its AI models to interact with computers like humans do—essentially learning how to automate the work tasks Meta employees perform daily. It's a bold move that raises obvious privacy concerns, even if Meta insists the data collection is purely for AI training purposes.
