What is Google’s TPU?
A TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) is Google’s custom AI chip, designed from scratch for the giant matrix multiplications that modern models live on. GPUs were built for graphics first.
TPUs were built for deep learning from day one.
At Cloud Next ’26, Google unveiled its 8th generation, and for the first time it ships in two flavors. TPU 8t is built for training, where raw throughput wins. TPU 8i is built for inference, where latency and chip-to-chip speed matter most.
Both still share the same Axion CPUs, liquid cooling, and software stack, so code written for one runs on the other.
The diagram below is a quick study guide to what’s the same, what’s different, and why, based on our understanding of published Google articles.

With JDK 27 introducing hybrid key exchange schemes that combine ML-KEM with traditional ECDHE algorithms, Java applications can gain TLS-layer protection against the _harvest-now, decrypt-later_ threat without rewriting business logic.
In this episode of the Inside Java Newscast, @ammbra1508 explains post-quantum hybrid key exchange for TLS 1.3 and demonstrates how a Java application can take advantage of it. https://t.co/c7XTbU79o0

The real challenge in software engineering had always been specification.
Not typing. Not syntax. Not even architecture in the abstract. The hard part was agreeing what should exist, what should never happen, which tradeoffs matter, what the system is allowed to forget, and what “done” means when the world is messier than the ticket.

If you're using Spring AI, you have the integration layer sorted. Keep your #Spring beans, and add Koog, the JVM AI agent framework from @JetBrains, on top for the following:
✔️ Graph workflows
✔️ Crash recovery
✔️ History compression
