Google has joined Amazon in attacking Nvidia’s stronghold with AI app developers
Google released TorchTPU as an open-source project on Tuesday, joining Amazon in efforts to break Nvidia's dominance over the artificial intelligence industry. Nvidia's graphics processing units, or GPUs, currently serve as the default hardware for most AI applications.
Google released TorchTPU as an open-source project on Tuesday, joining Amazon in efforts to break Nvidia's dominance over the artificial intelligence industry. Nvidia's graphics processing units, or GPUs, currently serve as the default hardware for most AI applications.
TorchTPU allows developers to run existing PyTorch applications on Google’s Tensor Processing Units, or TPUs, and Google Cloud with a simple configuration change rather than a rewrite. PyTorch is an open-source toolkit used by an estimated 85% of AI apps. Amazon announced a similar tool named TorchNeuron on Monday to port apps to its Trainium chips.
Google collaborated with Meta, Hugging Face, and other firms to ensure library compatibility. The company also launched a TPU agent suite to assist with code migration and updated its LiteRT tool for edge devices.
Neither Google nor Amazon's moves guarantee developers will abandon Nvidia hardware immediately. However, both tech giants are actively working to reduce Nvidia's competitive advantage in the AI chip market.
